We built our home out on the slopes
Pompeii beneath, she lay above
How she haunted our home
How she haunted our home

You were a god in my eyes
Above the clouds, above the skies
You were a god in my eyes
You were a god

You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground
Said just don´t they look in peace
Sometimes I wish that was me

I was the son you always had
Tugging at your coat when you were sad
I was the son you always had
I was the son you always had

Oh please, just don´t cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to

She would want you to

Just don´t cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

You said stay in the car and wait
There´s just some things I have to say
Don´t you know I miss her, too
I miss her just as much as you

So my father and my son
As you end what she´s begun
You´ll lie patient by her side
With roses red come lilies white

I was too young to understand

The flowers slipping from your hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand

I was too young to understand
The flowers sleeping in her hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand

Don´t cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don´t cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

And just don´t cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don´t cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
