[Verse 1]
I sat and reflected on the only photo
At your funeral, on the easel
In the shadow of the willowed Sacred Heart
Where we started wanting, weeding
Southern autumn, places of your life overgrown

[Pre-Chorus]
Warm winds blow
Secrets we die with trembling weakness
Is what haunts us now
Inside the windows what once made us proud

[Chorus]
I owned everything thought to be suicidal mania
I was everything taught to me
Drinking deeply, the truth of my grief

[Post-Chorus]
But what else could be?
Everything was written
I saw everybody plead

[Chorus]
I owned everything thought to be suicidal mania
I was everything taught to me
Drinking deeply, the truth of my grief
[Verse 2]
Show me now everything that I offer
I saw my own father lay the ground beneath me
I owned everything thought to be
I was everything taught to me

[Bridge]
All the tapes and all of the letters
At Heaven's gate standing with the guards
My love is endless
Everything of you is me, every step is toward the grave
Could it be flesh and blood were all we gave?
