i had to carry her

William Fitzsimmons

I saw her lying there on the table
Buried in flowers cross that I made for her

Kneeling beside you next to my
Mother weeping like willows
I had to carry her

I?m sorry it took me two years to come home
I?ve been so busy you should see
How the kids have grown

I?ll tell the children how much you loved them
They?ll never know you
I had to carry her
