Let me stay here by your side   Be one with you my precious child   Let me cover your bed with tears   I will save you from all fears   I burn the candles for your soul   I sing you prayers as the preacher told   I bring you flowers, I dress in black   Though I know this cannot give you back      I sleep by your shadow   Remembering your light   In my heart   I'm with you every night   Far goes your journey   Into the unknown   Wherever you might be   Be well my son [1st time: you are my son]   Why just you my flesh and blood   I cannot live nor understand   My dearest treasure to be found   Six feet under in sacred ground   Watch me bleed you lucky ones   I envy you your living sons   I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath   I will mourn him to my death      I sleep by your shadow   Remembering your light   In my heart   I'm with you every night   Far goes your journey   Into the unknown   Wherever you might be   Be well my son [1st time: you are my son]   Why just you my flesh and blood   I cannot live nor understand   My dearest treasure to be found   Six feet under in sacred ground   Watch me bleed you lucky ones   I envy you your living sons   I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath   I will mourn him to my death      [Rest in peace]      Let me stay here by your side   Be one with you my precious child   Let me cover your bed with tears   I will save you from all fears   I burn the candles for your soul   I sing you prayers as the preacher told   I bring you flowers, I dress in black   Though I know this cannot give you back      I sleep by your shadow   Remembering your light   In my heart   I'm with you every night   Far goes your journey   Into the unknown   Wherever you might be   Be well my son [1st time: you are my son]   Why just you my flesh and blood   I cannot live nor understand   My dearest treasure to be found   Six feet under in sacred ground   Watch me bleed you lucky ones   I envy you your living sons   I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath   I will mourn him to my death
