Letra de Left behind

You fold his hands and smooth his tie, you gently lift his chin.
Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?
Can´t help the itch to touch, to kiss, to hold him once again.
Now to close his eyes--never open them....

A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home.

All things he never did are left behind.
All the things his mama wished he´d bear in mind,
And all his dad had hoped he´d know.

The talks you never had, the saturdays you never spent.
All the ´grown-up´ places you never went.
And all of the crying you wouldn´t understand.
You just let him cry, ´make a man out of him.´

A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning
For a fool it called a home.

All things he ever wished are left behind.
All the things his mama did to make him mind,
And how his dad had hoped he´d grow.

All things he ever lived are left behind.
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind.
All the sadness that he´d come to own.

A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home.

And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
Whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
