She's Gone

We had a visitor while you were away

Unwelcome as he was,

he came in one day.

He sat down quietly

at your mother's side.

She left with him

sometime in the night.

She's gone.

You know how much she loved you son.

She had no fear of death.

She went on peacefully.

She just closed her eyes

drifted off to sleep.

She's gone.

She's gone.

You know how much she loved you son.

Let's walk on over there

And lay a rose upon her grave.

She's gone.

She's gone.

You know how much she loved you, son.
