When I was a boy

My father, he told me

Son don't you cry.

When I was a boy

My father, he told me

Everyone dies.

In the storm

My mother, she told me

Son don't despair.

In the storm

My mother, she told me

She'd always be there.

 

Do you feel safe

Whenever I hold you

Inside of my arms?

That's all that I ever have wanted

For you to feel.

Know that death won't be the end

All the love that I feel for you

Is eternally real.

 

On the winds of a storm you came.

(And swept them away).

Like the winds of a storm you came.

(And took them away).

On the winds of a storm you came.

(And took them away.)

Like the winds of a storm you came.

(And took them away).

 

You swept them away.

You took them away.

You swept them away.

You took them away!
