In Memory Of... Silverstein

[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]
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me

[Bridge]
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
