Lyrics

Dee and her father 

Would sit in the summer

And listen to something called silence 

Silence, to them

Fed the roots to the stems

Of their days of lifelong alliance 


He was her forest

Their minds interwoven 

And soon enough fate intervened 

The roads were too dark

And he shot out the car

Severing youth from the seed


Youth died that day

Youth died that day 


So she gathers the pieces of years of devotion

She folds all his clothing, leaves no room for mourning 

'Cause sweet sweet denial is the blood of survival 

At sixteen, 'cause that means he can't be gone 

At sixteen, her world's gone from two to one


As she tends to their garden 

The walls round her harden 

And permanence starts to set in 

The years run on reckless

And grief stays a necklace 

Tethered to her weathering skin


Youth died that day 

Youth died that day 


She gathers the pieces of years of devotion

She folds all his clothing leaves no room for mourning 

'Cause sweet sweet denial is the blood of survival 

At sixty, 'cause that means he can't be gone 

At sixty, her world stays a place for one


There's only so much hurricane a body can withstand 

Too much too soon now all she knows is living for an end

Her movements slow and from her bed, she grieves her years


She gathered the pieces of a life of devotion

She folded his clothing left no room for mourning 

'Cause sweet sweet denial was her blood of survival 

From sixteen to sixty, she stayed alone

At sixty, her time has finally come
