[00:00.10]Mother's Cross - Russell Crowe/Alan Doyle
[00:00.77]Lyrics by：Alan Doyle/Russell Crowe
[00:00.97]Composed by：Russell Crowe/Alan Doyle
[00:01.27]How many angels are there places for
[00:04.70]
[00:06.30]Should I be scared that heaven doesn't want anymore
[00:11.07]
[00:12.57]I heard the news about his mom
[00:14.91]
[00:16.37]Never to mend
[00:18.16]
[00:20.56]And I can't lift the sadness of his heart
[00:23.48]
[00:26.08]What do I say that won't help him fall apart
[00:30.78]Oh why is life so beautiful that it must end
[00:37.75]
[00:39.96]For the rest of his days he'll never be
[00:45.88]Far from the cruelest truth
[00:47.77]
[00:48.38]Of grief's companion constancy and
[00:51.02]
[00:51.63]I wanna hold him but I'm half a world away
[00:55.51]
[00:56.23]Witness only to the solitude of loss
[00:59.75]
[01:01.75]And I'm helpless as he hangs his mother's 'cross
[01:05.65]
[01:08.67]As he hangs his mother's 'cross
[01:11.11]
[01:16.72]We have the platitudes
[01:17.86]
[01:18.55]The insufficiency of words
[01:20.44]
[01:22.16]Can I cut out my heart
[01:23.46]
[01:24.67]And feed it to you now
[01:26.04]
[01:26.74]Can I take any part of your pain
[01:30.70]
[01:31.74]My friend
[01:34.12]
[01:35.85]You'll never be the same
[01:37.37]
[01:37.98]Life's so beautiful has changed
[01:40.30]
[01:40.82]No you'll never be the same again
[01:45.04]
[01:46.81]For the rest of his days he'll never be
[01:50.34]
[01:52.63]Far from the cruelest truth
[01:55.25]Of grief's companion constancy and
[01:58.06]
[01:58.89]I wanna hold him but I'm half a world away
[02:02.49]
[02:03.41]Witness only to the solitude of loss
[02:07.06]
[02:08.79]And I'm helpless as he hangs his mother's 'cross
[02:12.93]
[02:15.01]Helpless as he hangs his mother's 'cross
[02:18.32]
[02:22.91]Fly with me and look down from the clouds
[02:27.43]
[02:29.13]What a place to leave
[02:30.44]
[02:31.11]Can you see it clearer now
[02:33.24]
[02:34.06]When the sun rises let's be up to meet the waves
[02:40.39]
[02:42.83]There's no more lazy days
[02:44.42]
[02:45.10]'Cause they've all been washed away
[02:47.66]And this flesh no surprise won't survive
[02:52.14]
[02:53.41]For the rest of his days he'll never be
[02:57.53]
[02:59.56]Far from the cruelest truth
[03:02.24]Of grief's companion constancy and
[03:05.04]
[03:05.58]I wanna hold him but I'm half a world away
[03:09.57]
[03:10.11]Witness only to the solitude of loss
[03:13.69]
[03:15.78]And I'm helpless as he hangs his mother's 'cross
[03:19.68]
[03:21.76]Helpless as he hangs his mother's 'cross
[03:25.01]
[03:27.23]Helpless as he hangs his mother's 'cross
[03:30.74]
[03:35.25]Her memory in memoriam
[03:39.40]
[03:40.09]Temporary leaves
[03:44.39]
[03:45.66]Drifting from life's tree
[03:47.74]Only forever we'll be here eternally
[03:53.37]Only forever we'll be here eternally
[03:58.50]Her memory in memoriam
[04:01.61]
[04:02.20]Temporary leaves
[04:06.60]
[04:08.01]Drifting from life's tree
[04:09.89]Only forever we'll be here eternally
[04:14.50]
[04:15.39]Only forever we'll be here eternally
[04:20.55]
[04:21.35]Eternally
[04:22.06]
[04:22.71]Eternally
