Her
Son And The Holy Ghosts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Çocukken öğrendim her şeyi sayende
Koca bir çınar gibi
Yaşadım huzurla gölgende
Hayat bir döngü zaten
Her şey bir döngü değil mi
Her ihtimalin yazarı
Bizlerdik zannederdim
Her gün, her gün izledim
Her gün, her gün gözledim
Her gün duydum sesini
Bana bu elvedan hiç iyi gelmedi
Sanardım, sanardım çok gençtim
Aklımdan çok geçti
Keyfimden değil hayattan
Yanına gelemedim
Belki de çok gençtim
Koca bir çınar soldu göremedim
Ama senin gitmene hazır değildim
Her gün, her gün izledim
Her gün, her gün gözledim
Her gün duydum sesini




Bana bu elvedan hiç iyi gelmedi
Bana bu elvedan hiç iyi gelmedi

I learned everything because of you when I was a child.


Koca bir çınar gibi

A huge oak tree withered, and I couldn't see it

But I wasn't ready for you to leave

This farewell didn't sit well with me


Bana bu elvedan hiç iyi gelmedi
This farewell didn't sit well with me

I watched my dad as a child do exactly all the actions Craig Morgan sang about. When I lost my brother it completely broke him. And 12 years later he still sits on the front porch for a few hours everyday. When I asked him about it he just replied, “I’d happily relive this pain and grief everyday as long as you and your siblings never know what it’s like to bury your own child.”

I know exactly the pain your going through. I lost my son to suicide after his girlfriend had their baby girl on December 23

I'm so sorry. I lost my 21 yr old son 3 years ago. I've spent most of that time trying to figure out how to kill myself without hurting my other 2 kids. I've come to realize I have to live with this pain for the rest of my life.

Oh my heart. I cannot imagine the deep hurt your father feels, even after 12 years. Wow. I am so sorry for your loss.

Military hero, badass singer, I say this once or twice a year.. when my depression is at it highest I listen to you Sir. Thank you again for your service ranger

I met Major Morgan when I served with the 82nd. One of the most humble and respectful people ever. I was a private at the time and he treated me like more than an equal. He is a great person through and through.

That depression demon is having a ball lately..just bouncing all over...WE got to fight him

My son died 3 weeks ago. He was 39 years old, and suffered a heart attack. No warning. This song absolutely brings me to my knees, but it also gives me hope. Thank you Craig
