"My dear girl, it's gotten worse than you'd think Your brother - he's been by He's had his cry with me at the sink Nothing's worse for me than retelling this news But I know that you're strong And in the end you'll know what to do" It's not even real yet for my sister And at her age, how could it ever ever be So quick to tell you that you're grown Only I can say that for me An old soul, yeah maybe, but in my bones Suck a trauma dry of meaning So quick you're with us and then you're gone Dismiss the sadness and breathe I grew up when I felt your pulse Grew up when I held your dead body I love you I love you So quick you're with us and then we're grown Dismiss the panic and breathe I grew up when I heard your voice Grew up when you said you were leaving "Kids it's time for me to cross over the stream To the other side, where I'll be waiting When you meet me" So quick to tell you that you're grown Only I can say that for me An old soul, yeah maybe, but in my bones Suck a trauma dry of meaning So quick you're with us and then you're gone Dismiss the sadness and breathe I grew up when I felt your pulse Grew up when I held your dead body I love you I love you So quick you're with us and then we're grown Dismiss the panic and breathe I grew up when I heard your voice Grew up when you said you were leaving It's not even real yet for my sister And at her age, how could it ever ever be "My love for you could fill the cosmos And I'm amazed At how proud you've all made me"
