Gideon Glick - Left Behind lyrics

[MELCHIOR] You fold his hands and smooth his tie You gently lift his chin Were you really so blind And unkind to him? Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss To hold him once again Now to close his eyes Never open them [COMPANY] A shadow past, a shadow past Yearning, yearning for the fool It called a home [MELCHIOR] All things he never did Are left behind All the things his mama Wished he'd bear in mind And all his dad had hoped he'd know Oh... The talks you never had The Saturdays you never spent All the grown-up places You never went And all of the crying You wouldn't understand You just let him cry Make a man out of him [COMPANY] A shadow past, a shadow past Yearning, yearning for the fool It called a home [MELCHIOR] All things he ever wished Are left behind All the things his mama Did to make him mind And how his dad had hoped he'd grow All things he ever lived Are left behind All the fears that ever Flickered through his mind All the sadness that He'd come to own Oh oh oh [COMPANY] A shadow past, a shadow past Yearning, yearning for the fool It called a home [MELCHIOR] And it whistles through the ghosts Still left behind It whistles through the ghosts Still left behind It whistles through the ghosts Still left behind Oh
