A pale light frames your weary face
Your laboured breath clouds the last light of the day

Unbidden thoughts of better times
Don`t make the trail any easier

This last stage you must go alone
Would that I could go with you

As we travelled many such before
Whether through storm or sunlit meadows
All these roads we walked together
All these memories will never fade

Your tender smile catches my breath
How can I go on without it

The moment, then
There is nothing worthwhile anymore

Your eyes swallow the light

The ship has sailed
You have breathed your last

All these roads we walked together
All these memories will never fade

So light you lie in my arms
That the burden has been lifted from you
