The Boat And The Stream

Lyrics for The Boat And The Stream

How well must you know someone To be upset by their passing Does the sense of loss dissipate or is it everlasting I've never met with death before Usually a knock, this time a kicked down door Am I forcing this sadness Am I forcing this sadness for a reason to write? The few memories of you They keep me up at night I didn't see you enough You weren't there as I grew up In hindsight, I could have done more There was so much of me that you never saw I felt like a stranger as you lay there And I hope that you'd forgive me I hope you'd forgive me You lay there, I sat by your side Your eyes began to open You looked me in mine You took my hand Told me to get home safe All I could say Was I hoped you did the same I hope you are at peace Wherever you may be I hope you got to see the boat come down the stream I wish your time with us was longer, I'm sorry I've never met with death before Usually a knock, this time a kicked down door Am I forcing this sadness Am I forcing this sadness for a reason to write The few memories of you They keep me up at night I saw myself in you And I think she felt the same I tried to give her comfort But her face revealed the pain But her face revealed the pain
