Slaid Cleaves - 29

When you died at 29
You heard the voice of angels
But did you hear the lonesome cries
Of the ones you left behind

On your knee you held a child
On your arm a handsome girl
Left to wander this old world
When you died at 29

On that cold winter's night on the highway
You left us wondering why
No one could believe the chilling story
When you died at 29

When the leaves fall from the trees
And the sky begins to darken
I listen to your lonesome song
And I know I'm not alone

And when they say how you suffered
That there's a reason for your dying
Was it for my sins or yours
I think I know but I'm not sure

You lived more joy and more sorrow
Than most do in twice your lifetime
You spoke of things we know deep down inside
And then you died at 29

When you died at 29
You heard the voice of angels
But did you hear the lonesome cries
Of the ones you left behind
When you died at 29
You heard the voice of angels
But did you hear the lonesome cries
Of the ones you left behind

On your knee you held a child
On your arm a handsome girl
Left to wander this old world
When you died at 29

On that cold winter's night on the highway
You left us wondering why
No one could believe the chilling story
When you died at 29

When the leaves fall from the trees
And the sky begins to darken
I listen to your lonesome song
And I know I'm not alone

And when they say how you suffered
That there's a reason for your dying
Was it for my sins or yours
I think I know but I'm not sure

You lived more joy and more sorrow
Than most do in twice your lifetime
You spoke of things we know deep down inside
And then you died at 29

When you died at 29
You heard the voice of angels
But did you hear the lonesome cries
Of the ones you left behind
