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
