How can it be, How can it be
Within the frigid ground
Where none, but root and worm may see
With silence all around
She lays there now; she fell asleep
Her secrets now, she'll ever keep
She lays there now
She lays there now
A vault of secrets buried deep
How can it be, How can it be
That I still see her face
At simple moments, comes to me
Her presence seems to grace
I should have asked, then I would know
Instead, she's gone, but will not go
I should have asked
I should have asked
Oh, How the questions haunt me so
How can it be, How can it be
My hand upon her stone
She has no voice to set me free
I carry this alone
She stole away; her secrets kept
The night was long, oh how I wept
She stole away
She stole away
Entombed in silence 'neath my step.
