In Memory Of

In  Memory  Of...

Silverstein

Fighting  tears,  trembling  voice  straight  to  my  ear

A  moment  I'll  never  forget

Someone  I  love,  telling  me  someone  I  love

Had  just  been  called  to  his  reward

24,  a  leader  a  father  adored.

We'll  never  be  with  him  again

  

Take  me  down  to  the  garden  behind  the  old  house

Sail  away  with  me

  

Words  can  be  the  most  beautiful  or  the  most  cold

I  didn't  know  what  to  say

To  a  father  who  suddenly  loses  his  son

I  still  think  about  that  every  day

  

Take  me  down  to  the  garden  behind  the  old  house

Sail  away  with  me

  

Break  it  down

Trace  the  steps  moving  to  the  gold  town

Lost  your  past  from  me

  

Made  the  plans  and  backed  out

Stayed  at  home  and  did  nothing

But  now  I'm  taking  the  400  up  north

The  last  time  I'll  ever  see  your  face

  

I  don't  want  to  believe  that  this  is  it

I  want  to  believe  in  something  more

Growing  up  wasn't  easy  for  this  boy

Who  only  wanted  to  live  and  do  what's  right

  

I  can't  feel  (I  can't  feel)

I  can't  feel  my  heart  when  I  hurt  myself

I  can't  feel  (I  can't  feel)

I  can't  feel  the  pain  when  I  hurt  my  friends

I  can't  feel  (I  can't  feel)

But  it's  taking  you  further,  and  further,  away

  

Take  me  down  to  the  garden  behind  the  old  house

Sail  away  with  me

  

Break  it  down

Trace  the  steps  moving  to  the  gold  town

Lost  your  past  from  me

From  me  (From  me)

  

Take  me  down  to  the  garden  behind  the  old  house

Sail  away  with  me
