Things I See
Lyrics and Music by Kelly Cate

"Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there: I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there: I did not die."

"The time came when the poor man died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side." Luke 16:22

Things I See

For Frankie

You've gone to where it never snows

Where the ahi ahi go,

and I'm left here with my pain.

Will it always feel this way?

Did you come to see

if this was getting easy?

Did you come because I want?

Or did you come to haunt?

The seasons still change

With the rise of the moon.

I would draw it down for you,

would that bring your spirit back to me

Maybe it never did leave,

'cause when I close my eyes,

Oh, the things I see,

I just can't believe.

My little mauna loa,

My Oahu warrior

Oh, my sweet boy.

I know I'm in your presence,

I can feel you near,

My quiet, phantom lover,

Tangling my hair.

The seasons still change

With the rise of the moon.

I would draw it down for you,

would that bring your spirit back to me

Maybe it never did leave,

'cause when I close my eyes,

Oh, the things I see,

I just can't believe.
