Mourning Song

I was asleep when you came home
And I did not hear you leave
All of my bones
Are aching because we
Have unsaid words
And I miss your family
I saw the carvings on our stone
No flowers in the garden, no lights in our home
One day I was your angel
Next minute you were gone
Now all that I have left is my mourning song
I’m lost since you were gone
This is my only song now
Oh boy, where have you been
Since you left me on my own
My big blue eyes saw you pulling
Your chair from our table
All our young dreams
Were dark and grey and gone
Were the times when we thought that it would last
I saw the carvings on our stone
No flowers in the garden, no lights in our home
One day I was your angel
Next minute you were gone
Now all that I have left is my mourning song
I’m lost since you were gone
This is my only song now
Oh boy, where have you been
Since you left me
Since you left me on my own
