Thought it was over Thought you were gone As I walked through the dark house Wishin' your lamp was still on I lit a candle Was a pretty red glow I should have known You were still close Thought I was lonesome I wished it would pass As I dreamed I could find you somewhere In my looking glass I saw a bird flyin' Was a ruby red throat I should have known You were still close Still close Covered in rose petals From your head to your feet Still close to me Thought you were the tree That would never fall down As i swept up your ashes And put you back into the ground I saw a flower Was a wild red rose That's when i know You were still close Still close Covered in rose petals From your head to your feet Still close to me
