Supermarket Flowers (Live at the BRITs)

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

I threw the day old tea from the cup

Packed up the photo albums Matthew had made

Memories of a life that's been loved

I took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals

I poured the old ginger beer down the sink

Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"

But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearin' me up, but I know

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

So, I'll sing Hallelujah

You were an angel in the shape of my mum

When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up

Spread your wings as you go

And when God takes you back, he'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, and 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

And I hope that I see the world as you did

'Cause I know a life with love is a life that's been lived

So, Hallelujah

You were an angel in the shape of my mum

When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up

Spread your wings as you go

And when God takes you back, he'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"

Hallelujah

You were an angel in the shape of my mum

And you got to see the person I have become

Spread your wings and I know

That when God took you back, he said, "Hallelujah, you're home"
