Above The Clouds Of Pompeii

We built our home out on the slopes Pompeii beneath, she lay above How she haunted our home How she haunted our home

You were a god in my eyes Above the clouds, above the skies You were a god in my eyes You were a god

You took me walking through the town Showed me the statues underground Said just don't they look in peace Sometimes I wish that was me

I was the son you always had Tugging at your coat when you were sad I was the son you always had I was the son you always had

Don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to

Please, just don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to

You said stay in the car and wait There's just some things I have to say Don't you know I miss her, too I miss her just as much as you

So my father and my son As you end what she's begun You'll lie patient by her side With roses red come lilies white

I was too young to understand The flowers slipping from your hands I was too young to understand I was too young to understand

I was too young to understand The flowers sleeping in her hands I was too young to understand I was too young to understand

Don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to

Please, just don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to

And just don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to

Please, just don't cry Hold your head up high She would want you to She would want you to
