The Wood Brothers - Still Close Lyrics

thought it was over
thought you were gone
as i walked through the dark house
wishin' your lamp was still on
i lit a candle
was a pretty red glow
i should have known
you were still close

thought i was lonesome
i wished it would pass
as i dreamed i could find you somewhere
in my looking glass
i saw a bird flyin'
was a ruby red throat
i should have known
you were still close

still close
covered in rose petals
from your head to your feet
still close to me

thought you were the tree
that would never fall down
as i swept up your ashes
and put you back into the ground
i saw a flower
was a wild red rose
that's when i know
you were still close

still close
covered in rose petals
from your head to your feet
still close to me
