Elmstone Gum - Jonnquil Lyrics

He lays down on the ground
His blood is spilling out
Of his side
He sees flashbacks of his life
It flashes before his eyes
And as he bleeds out, he can't bring himself to cry

And I have seen the face of God and he scowled at me
Oh, how I've been drenched in sin, but I know it was meant to be
I lived and fought for all those who loved me, my family
But I'll never get to tell him how I feel
But I won't leave time for regret to visit me still
But I won't leave time for regret to visit me still

And I still hear his voice still
He says, "Go to sleep, Jonnquil"
And so I'll rest my weary head
On the soft grass bed
And I'll close my eyes
