"Behind The Flowers" lyrics

The sun falls down behind that railway track
The road is long, but I ain't turnin' back
The last word he said was the first time I felt free
The last breath he took was the first breath I could breathe

Behind the flowers my mother planted
There lies a house painted back
And I was guilty, I kept my mouth shut
Until the ground beneath me cracked

Lord, I told You that I needed You
I've been forgiving, and I've always been true
But You let him pass the line, the line I carefully drew
And You let him pass the line till it became nothing new

Under the willow tree, I stood silently
Knowin' what I was about to do
No tears did I shed, no doubts did I get
When I watched the bullet go through

And as the moonlit hit his eyes
His hand covered up my cries
I couldn't stop him if I tried
I was nothing but a child
I was nothing but a child
I was nothing but a child

And the last word he said was the first time I felt free
The last breath he took was the first breath I could breathe

Behind the flowers my mother planted
There lies a house painted back
Ooh and I was guilty, I kept my mouth shut
Until the ground beneath me cracked
