Everlong

If I could write a book It would be the greatest story ever told Of a kind and loving grandfather Who had a heart as pure as gold But now I travel through the seas of tombstones Graves of those once loved in times gone by, A tear falls, my feelings become numb Another loss of a dearly beloved one I could write a million pages Though I wouldn't be able to say, Just how much I love and miss him, Every single day "Time heals all wounds, give it a while" And for a while it helps I forget about the past And I keep the memories at bay But reality comes and shows it's ugly face, And it brings back all the pain once more If you try to block it out Nothing much will been gained The curtain of death brings memories of happiness and sorrow For their ghosts walking among the silent rows They quietly lie underneath the sky, As their loved ones mourn for the time going by.
