A mother weary, weight few can know
Down paths of thorns, I’m forced to go
Life’s not a dance, it all slips away
Sorrow haunts the streets today
Every corner, an echo of you
Time was short, the years were few
My precious gem, through the iron and dust
In a world of shadows, in you I trust!
Now an angel in light, while I stand alone
My heart is the meadow, your name is the stone!
Life is cruel, what did you do?
Why did the gates close fast on you?
Carved in stone, in the chilly air
Instead of me stroking your cheek and hair
I walk to the meadow, wild flowers bloom
By the stone where silence fills the room
One day we’ll walk... side by side again!
I long for the moment... I see you, my friend!
To hold you close, to feel your hand!
In that much brighter, distant land!
I’m running now to reach the light!
Through the shadows, through the night!
It’s just you and me, the end is near!
Beyond the grief, beyond the fear!
My precious gem, through the iron and dust
In a world of shadows, in you I trust!
Now an angel in light, while I stand alone
My heart is the meadow, your name is the stone!
Strongest I know, though the time was brief
Watching us all, through the salt and the grief!
Just you and me.
It’s gonna be okay.
Just you and me...
