Capo 2
Intro: /
/ /
You left on a Saturday In her hands you passed away
On seashores we laughed and played Only months ago
/ /
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
Swing low to the ground For we have lost our fatherâs crown
Hallowed was the night When the veil was torn
/B /
And your spirit took flight From the world
/ /
We gathered the sticks and leaves To set aflame our memories
Your family gathered around To lay your ashes down
/ /
Sing treetops and clap your hands For the grace in this sorrowful plan
That night when one candle remained We whispered your name
Swing low to the ground For we have lost our fatherâs crown
Hallowed was the night When the veil was torn
/B /
And your spirit took flight From the world
