So lay down upon this hospital bed
I'll stay with you here
My hands can't stop the bleeding now, the wounds are too severe
But they did what they could for the moment
You left us here with no words
‘Code red' is what we heard in the room
‘Where's my little boy?'
Your hands went cold, the air left your lungs -
Too young to say goodbye
Then you died in the cold of November
We'll always remember
Meet me where the willow's at
When the sun goes down and our shadows talk back
Don't you ever talk back - good boys don't talk back now
Save me tonight from all the ash and debris and get me out of this
It happened too fast - a turn, and a crash
It's just too late for me
Though you tried you just couldn't protect me
Don't ever forget me
Meet me where the willow's at
When the sun goes down and our shadows talk back
Don't you ever talk back - good boys don't talk back now
Meet me with the other kids
Thinking about what our fathers and mothers did
We can never go back - I can never go back
Never going back...
On your lips - the bad gin and old cigarettes
Nowhere to go, we never paid no mind to it
They told us ‘no', but we're never going to listen
I hope your listening
Meet me with the other kids thinking about this world
