Supermarket flowers

Supermarket flowers  _ Ed sheeran.

I took the supermarket flowers
from the windowsill
Threw the day old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album
Matthew had made
Memories of a life
that’s been loved
Took the get well soon cards
and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer
down the sink
Dad always told me
don’t you cry when you’re down
But mum there’s a tear
every time that I blink
Oh I’m in pieces
it’s tearing me up but I know
A heart that’s broke
is a heart that’s been loved
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
you were an angel
in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you’d be there
holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back
He’ll say Hallelujah you’re home
I fluffed the pillows
made the beds
stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns
neatly in a case
John said he’d drive then
put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side
of my face
I hope that I see the world
as you did cause I know
A life with love is a life
that’s been lived
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
you were an angel
in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you’d be there
holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
when God takes you back
He’ll say Hallelujah you’re home
Hallelujah
you were an angel
in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person
that I have become
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back
he said Hallelujah you’re home
