Waking up and the bed was made
No one looked me in the eye
More I try, More I cry
And it’s all for the best
Watched my brother cutting grass outside
Sitting on the porch he told me
It’s a long way to go before we can rest
But it’s all for the best
solo
You’re so beautiful it sings
On a lonely lazy morning
And when I see you rocking back and forth
Whispering that it’s all for the best
One day the stone will roll away
Soon you’ll see anekatips.com
you’re far away from home but never far away from me
And that’s all for the best
solo
(…and say you love me)
Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done
Walk away from trouble
(at the end of the day)
Say you love me
say you love me
Let’s just say you love me
Oooooohh
No one looked me in the eye
More I try, More I cry
And it’s all for the best
Watched my brother cutting grass outside
Sitting on the porch he told me
It’s a long way to go before we can rest
But it’s all for the best
solo
You’re so beautiful it sings
On a lonely lazy morning
And when I see you rocking back and forth
Whispering that it’s all for the best
One day the stone will roll away
Soon you’ll see anekatips.com
you’re far away from home but never far away from me
And that’s all for the best
solo
(…and say you love me)
Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done
Walk away from trouble
(at the end of the day)
Say you love me
say you love me
Let’s just say you love me
Oooooohh

There are also undercurrents of sort of struggling as you hit your 30s, and maybe a pull between doing what you should, and what you dream. (His brother is cutting grass, but he's unsure if that's the life he wants. What exactly is 'all for the best'?)
I also hear "you're so beautiful it seems"
Pretty amazing track
Great song!The reference to "one day the stone will roll away" seems to express the hope that somehow her death isn't final and he'll get to see her again on another level of existence.
it seems to be a collection of semi-random memories. not sure if there is a clear meaning to the lyrics, but the song evokes a unique type of feeling. I guess I would call it regretful-nostalgia.
great cover, not too familiar with the original.
best line.
i'm in love with this cover.
