Cold, Cold Ground

Cold, Cold Ground

Today I was here with you, my friend
I was here for the time being
As you sit on this cold, cold ground
My eternal bed as I call it
You can grow a flower or two
But nothing will bring in front
The memories of those things
We did, you and I, now I lie
Beneath this cold, cold ground

I have followed you on my way
You gave me light when I needed it
I was here for a moment's time
And if you could travel with me
I promise I would go first in line
So you can see, it's not so hard
When you're beneath cold, cold ground

If we could do those things again
Maybe I won't be so tired then
We could see the stars
And I wouldn't be one of them

Cold, cold ground, I call my bed
It's had me for all this time
A constant ponder and wonder
The thought running deep
But now it's not so hard
I lack the oxygen to believe
Now I know just how tired I am
I am just as tired and lonely
As you are, as you walk
This lively land
Have a sit on my bed

And until your life is over
Until the end becomes a memory
I will be sleeping in this dream
Waiting for you to be
Laying beside me in this bed
That is a cold, cold ground
