Supermarket Flowers
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
- I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
- I threw the day old tea from the cup
- Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
- Memories of a life that's been loved
- Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
- Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
- Dad always told me don't you cry when you're down
- But mum there's a tear every time that I blink
- Oh I'm in pieces it's tearing me up but I know
- A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
- So I'll sing Hallelujah
- You were an angel in the shape of my mum
- When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
- Spread your wings as you go
- And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
- You're home
- I fluffed the pillows made
- The beds stacked the chairs up
- Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
- John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
- And wiped a tear from the side of my face
- I hope that I see the world
- As you did 'cause I know
- A life with love is a life that's been lived
- So I'll sing Hallelujah
- You were an angel in the shape of my mum
- When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
- Spread your wings as you go
- And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
- You're home
