Supermarket Flowers

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

Threw the day old tea from the cup

Packed up the photo album Matthew had made

Memories of a life that's been loved

Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals

Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

Dad always told me don't you cry when you're down

But mum there's a tear every time that I blink

Oh I'm in pieces it's tearing me up but I know

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

So I'll sing Hallelujah, you were an angel in the shape of my mum

When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

Spread your wings as you go

And when God takes you back

He'll say Hallelujah, you're home

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek

And wiped a tear from the side of my face

I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know

A life with love is a life that's been lived

So I'll sing Hallelujah, you were an angel in the shape of my mum

When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

Spread your wings as you go, when God takes you back

He'll say Hallelujah, you're home

Hallelujah, you were an angel in the shape of my mum

You got to see the person that I have become

Spread your wings and I know

That when God took you back, he said Hallelujah you're home
