lyrics

I know I wont forget that day
As I stood there silently in the pouring rain
& watched as the tears fall upon your grave
I wondered if the sky knew how I felt that day
Was it crying for you or was it crying for me

Hey am I gonna meet you down the road a ways there was so much more that I had to say to you so tell me why you had to go away so soon tell me why you had to leave this way

All that’s left is mud and stone
to take the place of flesh and bone
I wonder if you ever really knew
how I felt about you

Remember those happy summer days just kids laughing, skipping, running, jumping in play when we’d ride down to the water to watch those crashing waves but they swept you to the bottom and that’s where you’ll stay
And all I hope now is that you’ve found your peace

Hey with all those words unwritten & unsaid
I still cannot get your face out of my head
why didn’t I see that you were sinking down, How was I to know that you’d drown?

All that’s left is mud and stone
to take the place of flesh and bone
I wonder if you ever really knew
how I felt about you

so wont you come and meet with me?
Just the two of us again down by the beach
Where we can listen to the music floating through the trees
And we’ll be cleansed of all our sins by the sea
Yeah we’ll be cleansed and we’ll be free
we’ll be free by the sea
