[Verse 1]
You left on a Saturday
In her hands, ​you passed away
On seashores, we laughed and played
Only months ago

[Verse 2]
And I know you tried so hard
To heal the space between our hearts
And now your work is done
For your daughters and sons

[Chorus]
Swing low to the ground
For we have lost our father’s crown
Hallowed was the night
When the veil was torn
And your spirit took flight
From the world

[Verse 3]
We gathered the sticks and leaves
To set aflame our memories
Your family gathered around
To lay your ashes down
[Verse 4]
Sing treetops and clap your hands
For the grace in this sorrowful plan
That night when one candle remained
We whispered your name

[Chorus]
Swing low to the ground
For we have lost our father’s crown
Hallowed was the night
When the veil was torn
And your spirit took flight
From the world
