Above The Clouds Of Pompeii - Bear's Den

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

And 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

Oh 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

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 you’ve begun

You’ll lie patient by her side

Roses red come lilies white

I was too young to understand

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
