And On Lyrics - You And Me Both - Yaz

Your mother was crying 

Your father passed her a handkerchief 

Their tear-stained faces 

Looked to mine for a sign of grief 

A thousand raincoats 

Always stand around too long 

But I stayed to talk with you 

After they had gone 

The flowers I've brought you 

Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain 

Your name on the card had run 

So I tried in vain to write it again 

They didn't understand you, no 

They didn't even try 

I'm so glad that you left us now 

Before you had the chance to die 

I sat there for a long time 

Expecting to turn and see you there 

I ran my fingers through the long grass 

Willing it to turn into your hair 

And, oh, I'm gonna miss you, dear 

But I don't have to cry 

I'm so glad that you left us now 

Before you had the chance to die 

And oh, I'm going to miss you, dear 

But I'm not going to cry 

I'm so glad that your life stopped now 

Before it had the chance to die
