And I'll never forget her standing
in the waters of Lake Michigan

“Don't rush the flowers, ”
that's what my grandfather said when I was very young
And I'll never forget him standing
in the garden—ah, the wisest of men

And in the end, if we can't go on
we will carry each other home
And in the end, if we can't go on
we will carry each other home
And in the end, if we can't go on
we will carry each other home
And in the end, if we can't go on
we will carry each other home

And I'll never forget them standing
in the garden on Lake Michigan
