Above The Clouds Of Pompeii

We built our home out on the slopes
 Pompeii beneath, she lay above
 How she haunted our home
 How she haunted our home
 You were a god in my eyes
 Above the clouds, above the skies
 You were a god in my eyes
 You were a god
 ♪
 You took me walking through the town
 Showed me the statues underground
 Said just don't they look at peace
 Sometimes I wish that was me
 I was the son you always had
 Tugging at your coat while you were sad
 I was the son you always had
 I was the son you always had

 Don't cry
 Hold your head up high
 She would want you to
 She would want you to
 Please, just don't cry
 Hold your head up high
 She would want you to
 She would want you to
 ♪
 You said stay in the car and wait
 There's just some things I have to say
 Don't you know I miss her, too
 I miss her just as much as you
 So my father and my son
 As you end what she's begun
 You'll lie patient by her side
 With roses red come lilies white

 I was too young to understand
 The flowers slipping from your hands
 I was too young to understand
 I was too young to understand
 I was too young to understand
 The flowers sleeping in her hands
 I was too young to understand
 I was too young to understand

 Don't cry
 Hold your head up high
 She would want you to
 She would want you to
 Please, just don't cry
 Hold your head up high
 She would want you to
 She would want you to
 And just don't cry
 Hold your head up high
 She would want you to
 She would want you to
 Please, just don't cry
 Hold your head up high
 She would want you to
 She would want you to
