lirik lagu clare bowditch - when i was five
if life were like a mountain, did you, did you not fall?
i have missed you since i was five.
and i don’t recall your eyes but your hands i do recall,
and i know how you smelt when you were alive.
you died – like we’re all gonna go someday.
you died. i was five and i wish you’d stayed.
they say you crossed a river to touch god’s hand
but i did not understand where he lived.
so i tried to write him letters – letters of demand,
saying “she’s my sister – back you give her”
you died – like we’re all gonna go someday.
you died. i was here and you went away.
i didn’t see you die, i didn’t see your casket.
don’t remember if i cried, but i never quite got past it.
you’re fragile like a bee, and skinny as a steeple,
and all these memories – are they mine or other peoples?
when you died – like we’re all gonna go someday,
i was five and i thought i could make you stay.
