For the life of me

I just can't do it

This song

This beautiful song

I just can't seem to reach out for it 

To capture it

To keep it

To hear it echo in my heart

Breaking me

Yet soothing my brokenness 

Its so beautiful

and all too sad

The salt of my tears burns my eyes

For the life of me!

For the life of me Jesus!

As I watch the son by the bonfire

His head down

with thoughts of his father

As the beauty of this melody disappears into the cold

After the silence 

No slumber until the sunrise

Its that brown wood

Laid on the pedestal 

For the life of me!

I can't contain

These crying Screaming voices

I don't want to for the life of me!

Can I capture this moment

A moment worth remembering 

A moment I want to forget

But also wish to never forget 

Beauty and sadness surrounds, 

This, 

This dark brown wood on a pedestal 

Where they laid you and put flowers on top

For the life of me

I just wish you still had life in you
