[Verse 1] Fighting tears, trembling voice straight to my ear A moment I'll never forget Someone I love, telling me someone I love Had just been called to his reward 24, a leader, a father, adored We'll never be with him again
[Chorus] Take me down to the garden behind the old house Sail away with me
[Verse 2] Words can be the most beautiful or the most cold I didn't know what to say To a father who suddenly loses his son I still think about that every day
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Break it down Trace the steps moving to the gold town Lost your past from me
[Verse 3] Made the plans and backed out Stayed at home and did nothing But now I'm taking the 400 up north The last time I'll ever see your face I don't want to believe that this is it I want to believe in something more Growing up wasn't easy for this boy Who only wanted to live and do what's right
[Bridge] I can't feel (I can't feel) I can't feel my heart when I hurt myself I can't feel (I can't feel) I can't feel the pain when I hurt my friends I can't feel (I can't feel) But it's taking you further, and further, away
