"When The Grass Grows Over Me" lyrics

When The Grass Grows Over Me

When you left
I thought that I would soon
Get over you
Even told myself
That I would find
Somebody too

Time and tears
Have come and gone
But not your memory
I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me

Yes, I'll be over you
When you're standing over me
And as you look down
At the cold, cold ground
I'm sleeping in

Don't expect
To hear me say
That I still love you then
Cause I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me

Even when
My eyes are closed
They keep on seeing you
Every minute
I'm alive
I'm hurting through and through

And as long
As I live
I know I won't be free
I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me

I'll be over you
When you're standing over me
And as you look down
At the cold, cold ground
I'm sleeping in

Don't expect
To hear me say
That I still love you then
Cause I'll be over you
When the grass grows over me
