lyrics

Bury your child, now, in a resting place

You found him there; lifeless, afloat
A blue grave to claim a most innocent soul
A tragedy - your family torn
It was only six years ago he was born
Sorrow and anguish don't fill the void
The wreckage of a smile that day destroyed
Pick out a coffin for your baby now
The one that drowned, there, in his blue grave

Heart-attack - cut to black
You pray for a way that you can go back

Bury your child, now, in a resting place
Hoping that somehow - that someday - you'll get to see his face
Once again, smiling at you; the way that he did - the way that you were used to
Bury your child, now, and return to a house you can't bear to live in

There's so much heartache and grief in these walls
You remember the day he first learnt to talk
The way that he smiled when he started to walk
As your tears flood your flashbacks of it all
The first day of school - the Christmases
The way he drew pictures of you and him
They're all still right up there on the fridge
How could any of this have happened?

Do you blame yourself for what you lost and that his life didn't last?
In the blink of an eye: the ultimate cost
But to the future we're blind, and we can't change the past
Bury your child in a resting place

Bury your child, now, in a resting place
Hoping that somehow - that someday - you'll get to see his face
Once again, smiling at you; the way that he did - the way that you were used to
Bury your child, now, and return to a house you can't bear to live in

Bear to live in
Bear to live in
Heart-attack - cut to black
You pray for a way
