farewell to you my love i m closing my eyes you ll let go this cold cold hand in time this chain around your neck must carry my stone so i can feel your heart beat against my own this veil will hide my voice from you and i m not sure how i ll talk to you but know while you lie sleeping i ll be speaking my truths be near me always i don t know where i ll go but i will tell you my stories on this ocean i m rolling a wave away from you but we will roll into each other some day for a ripple on the water i ll pray you will lose my face even closing your eyes i have gone from skin to earth to tree against the sky the storms may harm our blossom we call for the sun and though the rain still pours we know she ll come in good time oh silver lining you are hard to see when her face it fades away from me but i know while she lies sleeping we are dreaming the same dreams for she is near me always telling me where to go she listens to my stories she has this funny notion that tears the tears from me but i will dry her pretty eyes some day for a ripple on the water i ll pray and i know that i will find her by the tremors left behind her for with each ripple on the water she prays
