More Than He Could Give
Yearning for More: Unfulfilled Desires in Jackopierce's Melody
Lyrics
She walked in the room where he
She entered the room where he
Lay his head for the last time
Laid his head for the final time
She spoke to the icons on the wall
She addressed the religious symbols on the wall
They lost their amber glow
They lost their warm, golden glow
She cried
She expressed her sorrow
Cold pavement under feet
Cold pavement beneath her feet
As she walked away from that room
As she left that room
As she experienced the death and the decay
Encountering death and decay
All she wanted was more than he could give
Her desire surpassed what he could provide
All she wanted was for him to live
All she wished for was his continued existence
She cried
She expressed her grief
She walked in the room where he
She entered the room where he
Lay his head for the last time
Laid his head for the final time
She spoke but her words
She spoke, but her words
They silently fell to the floor
Fell silently to the floor
She looked like the blanche on the window shade
She resembled the pale figure on the window shade
She could not believe it
She couldn't believe the reality
She hoped the inevitable would be postponed
She hoped to delay the inevitable
But it already came
But it had already occurred
All she wanted was for her son to live
All she yearned for was her son's survival
