Quietly Kissing Death

The Old Dead Tree

What should I've said? 
What should I've done? 
What should I've guessed? 
What sign should I've read on your face, 
What sort of friend am I? 
I've been so deaf I've been so blind. 

I didn't understand your pain 
And I feel so guilty my friend 
I realise that for you 
We didn't count enough to 

Give you the strength 
To fight for life 
To face your pain 

You have preferred 
To close your eyes and run away. 
I imagine your face 
Quietly kissing Death 

You should 
Have found the strength 
To fight for life 
To face your pain 

You have preferred 
To close your eyes and run away. 
I imagine your face 
Quietly kissing Death 

I can imagine your face 
Quietly kissing death.
