Lyrics

You have green fingers

You possess a natural talent for gardening

I wish I would have inherited them

I wish I had inherited your gardening skills

All my plants are dying

All the plants I have are dying

I had to throw out half of them

I had to dispose of half of my plants

While your garden is blossoming

Your garden is thriving and full of life

And you know all the names

You are knowledgeable about various plant species

Of every flower

You know the names of all the flowers

Of every tree

You're familiar with the names of all the trees

Of every berry

You recognize the names of all the berries

Of every leaf

You're well-versed in identifying different types of leaves

One summer there was a heron following you around

Once, a heron followed you during a summer

Flew to you while you were watering your dahlias

The heron approached you while you were watering your dahlias

It accompanied you to the lake

It accompanied you to a lake

Where you once killed a snake

At the lake, you had an encounter with a snake and dealt with it

Afterwards we had blueberry cake

Afterward, you shared blueberry cake

And I would always

I would always pretend

fake, fake, fake, fake,

Repetitive expression of pretending (fake)

Fake, fake, fake, fake

-

Fake, fake, fake, fake

-

"I love this cake"

A comment on appreciating the cake

Sometimes you'd lock eyes with me

Occasionally, you would gaze at me, seemingly distant

Your mind be far away and you'd say

Your mind seemed elsewhere, asking about my age

"How old are you now?"

You'd inquire about my age

I'd say "I'm twenty-five"

I'd respond that I'm twenty-five years old

And you'd go, "oh"

Your reaction to my age

"Oh, it must have been twenty-five years then

You reflected on a past event, estimating a timeframe

Since the love of my life passed away"

Mentioning the passing of your significant other

The love of your life

Referencing the deceased person as the love of your life

I never met him

I never had the chance to meet this person

We put flowers on the grave

We paid respects by placing flowers on the grave

And he's in my DNA

Indication that aspects of him are within us genetically

What we inherited from him

Uncertainty about what traits were inherited from him

I don't know

Unsure about what traits were received from you

What we inherited from you

Uncertain about resemblances

I'm not sure

Uncertainty about future similarities

But if I grow up to be anything like you

If I become like you as I grow up, it would be acceptable

It will do

An acceptance of potential similarities with you in the future

At your funeral

Reflecting on your funeral

There was a heron circling around

A heron was present during your funeral, potentially symbolizing something

Maybe it came to say farewell

Speculation about the heron's purpose for being there

Maybe it was you

Wondering if the heron represented you at the funeral

How could I tell?

Difficulty in identifying the heron's significance

I was only present in my mind

You were mentally absent during the funeral

And through a live-stream

You were virtually present through a live stream from Germany

From Germany

Method of remote participation in the funeral

I will always

Repeated expression of dreaming

Dream, dream, dream, dream

-

Dream, dream, dream, dream

-

Dream, dream, dream

-

Of having instant coffee in the garden with you

An aspiration of sharing a simple moment with you
