[00:06.15]Spring has come and brought me these
[00:13.16]Daffodils and lily leaves
[00:17.02]I place them all upon your chest
[00:22.59]I knew that it would come to this
[00:27.77]
[00:33.91]I've watched your skin and bones give out
[00:38.85]
[00:39.73]Wincing at the pain you've felt
[00:44.52]
[00:45.18]Helpless son I am to you
[00:50.52]If only science had a clue
[00:56.30]Leaning on whats left of you
[01:02.02]Tell me all about your youth
[01:07.36]The boys you kissed
[01:10.09]The men you knew
[01:12.91]The places that were dear to you
[01:18.44]And when the cancer ate your bones
[01:23.96]You fought for life and you came home
[01:29.47]If that's not love then I don't know
[01:34.66]
[01:35.25]Spell it out in great detail
[01:40.78]And I wanna know about myself
[01:46.37]Was I the son you'd always hoped
[01:51.89]A worthy one a spawn of both
[01:57.54]A working man and the girl he loved
[02:02.97]Are you proud of me
[02:05.61]Have I done enough
[02:08.44]Did I break your heart when I left the house
[02:14.14]The moment I was old enough
[02:19.71]I only wanted you to see
[02:24.90]
[02:25.43]That I could make a man of me
[02:30.94]And I'll keep you close with all my might
[02:36.40]And I'll always call you back on time
[02:41.91]And I'll always try to be polite
[02:47.48]
[02:48.15]Always
[03:05.95]
