lyrics

This is a tribute for you
an epitaph that you'll never hear
for when you close your eyes
it will be for the last time

A frail woman in a hospital bed
it was an image that I'll never forget
I barely recognised her face
as she struggled for each breath
I sat alone in the waiting room
still believing that you'd wake up soon
but we didn't get our fairytale ending
rest in peace my dearest friend

they say that swans sing before they die
a haunting hymn at the end of their lives
to help us find beauty
in the darkest of times

you sacrificed so much
gave all you had to bring me up
taught me to stay positive
but it gets hard without you to guide me
so I listen to that voice within
telling me to never give in
I'll make you proud of me
I'm living life vicariously

everything I am
I owe it all to you
and all I'll become
I dedicate to you

These last few days
have felt like years
the clock seems to barely move
time means nothing to me

With the setting of the sun
comes the haunted sleep
I wish I had more photographs
I'm surrounded by tragedy
you've moved on to a better place
well that's what they say
I'll take solace in their faith
but I believe in my own way

I'll remember to sing your song
when I feel
like I can't
carry on

and keep your words close to me
when I feel
like I can't
carry on

hold on to the good memories
when I feel
like I can't
carry on

I'm thankful for all that I have
when I feel
like I can't
carry on

but angry for all that I've lost
I cherish the time that we had
I wish that I could move on
