Let Me Carry Your Bones
written by: Richard Green
Let me hold your hand gently
As the angel comes to call
Let me walk with you slowly
Towards the end of it all
Let me be right beside you
Til it’s time for you to go
Let me break my heart open
Though I know it must be so
Let me weep at your graveside
Having said all my goodbyes
Let me speak of our memories
With precious tears in my eyes
Let me remember your voice
And the way that you would smile
Let me find peace without you
Although that may take a while
Let me treasure our photos
And the deep love that we found
Let me miss the happiness
Of just having you around
Let me share your true spirit
With those who’ll lend an ear
Let me sit by the river
Knowing that you will be near
I’ll try to be more like you
To attempt to fill the space
I’ll be gentle and caring
Try to emulate your grace
Let me always take you with me
My lover, my true friend
Let me honour your memory
Til I meet you at the end.
Let me take you home
Let me carry your bones
Let me carry your bones
