Look into the yard

All the flowers find it hard to climb

See, the weeds have won

Take the water and the sun

Then it finds me in the clear

Now you can see

The worst of days has got the best of me



[Chorus]

So lay me down to sleep

And pray my soul to keep me

Moving on

When I'm gone



You take me in

With the color of my skin turned gray

Doctor, will you let us know

Should we keep or let him go today

We'll bring him home for surgery

With a tweezer and a match

Kill tick and flea



[Chorus]



When all is said and done

I never will forget you when I'm gone

Carry on



Whisper over me

I can rest in peace of mind

My eyes are wide

But still dark inside this time

I have it all

In front of me

Such a simple world

I could never see

But you gave it all

For just one day

I found a reason to live

And pass away



[Chorus]



When all is said and done

I never will forget you when I'm gone

And you carry on

When I'm gone

And you're moving on
