Lyrics

[00:39.31] We built our home out on the slopes
[00:41.51] Pompeii beneath, she lay above
[00:44.13] How she haunted our home
[00:46.53] How she haunted our home
[00:48.88] You were a god in my eyes
[00:51.16] Above the clouds, above the skies
[00:53.67] You were a god in my eyes
[00:56.11] You were a god
[01:07.78] You took me walking through the town
[01:09.87] Showed me the statues underground
[01:12.50] Said just don't they look in peace
[01:14.90] Sometimes I wish that was me
[01:17.38] I was the son you always had
[01:19.46] Tugging at your coat when you were sad
[01:22.06] I was the son you always had
[01:24.37] I was the son you always had
[01:36.46] Don't cry
[01:37.62] Hold your head up high
[01:39.93] She would want you to
[01:42.26] She would want you to
[01:44.97] Please, just don't cry
[01:47.14] Hold your head up high
[01:49.31] She would want you to
[01:51.61] She would want you to
[02:04.84] You said stay in the car and wait
[02:07.12] There's just some things I have to say
[02:09.75] Don't you know I miss her, too
[02:12.06] I miss her just as much as you
[02:14.39] So my father and my son
[02:16.87] As you end what she's begun
[02:19.21] You'll lie patient by her side
[02:21.60] With roses red come lilies white
[02:33.84] I was too young to understand
[02:36.52] The flowers slipping from your hands
[02:39.25] I was too young to understand
[02:41.87] I was too young to understand
[02:44.65] I was too young to understand
[02:47.47] The flowers sleeping in her hands
[02:50.28] I was too young to understand
[02:53.05] I was too young to understand
[03:15.38] Don't cry
[03:16.57] Hold your head up high
[03:18.76] She would want you to
[03:20.98] She would want you to
[03:23.94] Please, just don't cry
[03:26.12] Hold your head up high
[03:28.18] She would want you to
[03:30.68] She would want you to
[03:33.53] And just don't cry
[03:35.47] Hold your head up high
[03:37.68] She would want you to
[03:39.98] She would want you to
[03:42.96] Please, just don't cry
[03:45.14] Hold your head up high
[03:47.15] She would want you to
[03:49.53] She would want you to
