Paroles And On

Paroles de la chanson And On :
Your mother was crying

Your father passed her a handkerchief

Their tear-stained faces

Looked to mine for a sign of grief

A thousand raincoats

Always stand around too long

But I stayed to talk with you

After they had gone.



The flowers I brought you

Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain

Your name on the card had run

So I tried in vain to write it again

They didn't understand you - No!

They didn't even try

I'm so glad that you left us now

Before you had the chance to die.



I sat there for a long time,

Expecting to turn and see you there

I ran my fingers through the long grass

Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh

I'm gonna miss you, dear

But I don't have to cry

I'm so glad that you left us now,

Before you had the chance to die

And oh, I'm going to miss you dear,

But I'm not going to cry

I'm so glad that your life stopped now,

Before it had the chance to die
