I'm here by your side, in the gathering dark
To offer a final farewell
It's hard to imagine so joyous a heart
In silence, deep as a well In each line of your face, there's a story
Of the times, and the places you've seen
Here at last, at the end of the journey
At peace, forever serene Oh, bravely the battle you waged with the night
More bravely, the tougher the fray
Now a voice in the distance is calling you home
All the more, I wish you could stay Still I know that your spirit is rising
In a calm, like a deep running stream
Where the stars, they sleep in the heavens
In peace, forever serene |
