about

Flowers On Your Grave is a song written for my dear friend, and companion of 13 years, a Blue Heeler/Kelpie Cross named Misty, who passed away exactly 7 days following my 24th Birthday in 2012.

I was not present when she left us, so this is my final goodbye to her. Enjoy.

Bass: Jeff Miller

lyrics

You had more heart
Than any man I know
Gave me all your care
And that just goes to show

I'll always sing for you
My girl, my best friend
I'll remember you
Until the very end

CHORUS:
You sat at my feet
As my guitar I played
You listened to every word
I ever had to say
You made my life so full
And I just feel
A part of me died
With you

You rested your chin
On my shoulder when I needed
Used your wet tongue
To methodically clean my hands

I'd pet your head and
I'd kiss your eyes
Everybody loved you
But that was not surprise

CHORUS

You couldn't talk
But you told me a million things
With your eyes, your face, your tail
Losing you; it stings

We hope that you
Like the life we gave
Let this song be
The flowers on your grave

CHORUS

And I just feel
A part of me died
With you
