Supermarket Flowers

Took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

Threw the day-old tea from the cup

Wrapped up the photo album Matthew had made

Memories of a life that's been loved

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 sing, "Hallelujah, you're home"

Fluffed the pillows, made the bed, 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

Hallelujah

You were an angel in the shape of my mum

You got to see the person I have become

Spread your wings as you go

And when God takes you back

He'll sing, "Hallelujah, you're home"
