    I painted your room at midnight
              
    So I know yesterday was over
                    
    I put all your books on the top shelf
                                     
    Even the one with the four-leaf clover
                        
    Man I'm getting older


                   
    I took all your pictures off the wall
                         
    And wrapped 'em in a newspaper blanket
                                          
    And i havent slept in what seems like a century
                             
    And now i can barely breathe

                                
    Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
                           
    Dandelions lost in the summer sky
                                     
    when you and I were getting high as outer space
                           
    I never thought you would slip away
                                        
    I guess I was just a little too late


	Pre-verse:    

                    
    Your words still serenade me
             
    Your lullabies wont let me sleep
                                
    I never heard such a haunting melody
               
    Oh it's it's killing me
                              
    You know I can barely breathe
