Fallen Flowers -- Steve McDonald

Steve McDonald....
an old hero of mine....
whose music i'd listen
to late at night
as a teenager
-he often brought
me to faraway places.

here are the lyrics to this song:

There on a misty morning,
the sun slowly rised
After the Battle at Halidon Hill
There lies her youngest son,
tears in his eyes
Wounded and dying she hears him still

Ma, if I could live my life again
If I could call the world my friend
If I could write the story's end (I would)
I would give all these things in vain
To feel you hold me once again

A smile comes to his face
An uneasy calm
In front of him, his life flashes by
Amidst his boyish charms,
he feels his mother's arms
In that painless moment, he hears her cry

Son, if I could roll back the years
If I could see you through these tears
If I could face all of my fears (I would)
I would give everything in vain
Just to hold you once again

Remember me forever
I'll be here forever
Please forget me never
I'll be here forever

If I could roll back the years
If I could see you through these tears
If I could face all of my fears

Ma, if I could live my life again
If I could call the world my friend
If I could write the story's end (I would)
I would give all these things in vain
Just to hold you once again
