Do you think of me
When you’re alone
The day light has faded
And the green moss has grown
You’re eyes have turned weary
And your heart is a stone
Your days seem endless
And you live them alone

I watch you
As you live your day through
And I know when I left
You swore you’d leave too
Don’t be afraid baby
Because I’m waiting for you
No baby no
You don’t need to live another day through

Take a walk on the other side
Be reborn after you have died
Not a single life can you save
Think about it
When you kneel
Down by my grave

When I hear you talking
Are you talking to yourself?
Or have you replaced me
With somebody else
Are my pictures still there
Or have you taken them off the shelf
Do you write me letters
But then keep them to yourself

Take a walk on the other side
Be reborn after you have died
Not a single life can you save
Think about it
When you kneel
Down by my grave

I’m not far off land
Let your dust mingle with mine
I’ll pull you in
If you take my line
And we can live together
Until the end of time
Because I am yours
And you are mine

Take a walk on the other side
Be reborn after you have died
Not a single life you can save
So dig a hole, let God take your soul
And lay next to me down by my grave
