Lyrics

If life were like a mountain, did you, did you not fall? I have missed you since I was five And I don't recall your eyes But your hands I do recall And I know how you smelt when you were alive You died Like we're all gonna go someday You died I was five and I wish you'd stayed They say you crossed a river to touch God's hand But I did not understand where he lived So I tried to write him letters - letters of demand Saying "She's my sister - back you give her" You died Like we're all gonna go someday You died I was here and you went away I didn't see you die, I didn't see your casket Don't remember if I cried, but I never quite got past it You're fragile like a bee, and skinny as a steeple And all these memories - are they mine or other peoples? When you died Like we're all gonna go someday I was five and I thought I could make you stay
