Mother's Cross - Russell Crowe/Alan Doyle.mp3

[00:01.155] How many angels are there places for?
[00:06.252] Should I be scared that heaven doesn't want anymore?
[00:11.989] I heard the news about his mom,
[00:16.265] Never to mend,
[00:20.063] And I can't lift the sadness of his heart.
[00:26.027] What do I say that won't help him fall apart?
[00:30.776] Oh why is life so beautiful, that it must end?
[00:39.876] For the rest of his days he'll never be,
[00:45.408] Far from the cruelest truth,
[00:48.475] Of grief's companion constancy and,
[00:51.105] I wanna hold him, but I'm half a world away
[00:55.622] Witness only to the solitude of loss,
[01:01.678] And I'm helpless, as he hangs his mother's cross.
[01:08.399] As he hangs his mother's cross.
[01:16.674] We have the platitudes,
[01:18.216] The insufficiency of words,
[01:21.713] Can I cut out my heart,
[01:24.501] And feed it to you now?
[01:26.923] Can I take any part of your pain?
[01:31.617] My friend,
[01:35.578] You'll never be the same,
[01:37.864] Life's so beautiful has changed,
[01:40.678] No you'll never be the same again.
[01:46.662] For the rest of his days he'll never be,
[01:52.347] Far from the cruelest truth,
[01:55.206] Of grief's companion constancy and,
[01:58.033] I wanna hold him, but I'm half a world away
[02:03.090] Witness only to the solitude of loss,
[02:08.699] And I'm helpless, as he hangs his mother's cross.
[02:14.561] Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
[02:21.256] Fly with me and look down from the clouds,
[02:29.156] What a place to leave,
[02:30.982] Can you see it clearer now?
[02:33.941] When the sun rises, let's be up to meet the waves.
[02:42.645] There's no more lazy days,
[02:44.861] Cause they've all been washed away,
[02:47.719] And this flesh, no surprise won't survive.
[02:52.929] For the rest of his days he'll never be,
[02:59.319] Far from the cruelest truth,
[03:01.750] Of grief's companion constancy and,
[03:04.969] I wanna hold him, but I'm half a world away
[03:09.601] Witness only to the solitude of loss,
[03:15.727] And I'm helpless, as he hangs his mother's cross.
[03:21.886] Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
[03:27.153] Helpless as he hangs his mother's cross.
[03:35.083] Her memory, in memoriam,
[03:39.947] Temporary leaves,
[03:45.297] Drifting from life's tree,
[03:47.764] Only forever, we'll be here eternally,
[03:52.982] Only forever, we'll be here eternally.
[03:58.456] Her memory, in memoriam,
[04:02.049] Temporary leaves,
[04:07.729] Drifting from life's tree,
[04:10.118] Only forever, we'll be here eternally,
[04:15.217] Only forever, we'll be here eternally.
