🎸 Verse 1:
D
When I found her, she was lying in a field of forget-me-nots
D
Beneath a sky of apple trees

I watched her chest rise and fall with every heavy breath
   D
Of grief

🎸 Verse 2:
D
She told me her mother loved her laughter
D
And she only had time for honesty
G
I said there's a lot of hurt in you

And there always will be
    A
Let the wind
D                                  A
Carry her voice to you while she sings

Ooh, she sings

Singin

The sky was crying when she found me
D
In the rain watching rivers run away

And you're getting weaker every day

My mother is a mountain

I need her like the air that I breathe

If there's a bit of hurt in me

I will rest easy

While she sings

While she sings

When I die

I'll live on in your smile
