Above The Clouds Of Pompeii Lyrics - Islands - 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 

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 

Don't cry 

Hold your head up high 

She would want you to 

She would want you to 

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 she's begun 

You'll lie patient by her side 

With roses red come lilies white 

I was too young to understand 

The 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
