To Say Goodbye, Part II: On Our Way

There was a time when we were younger
We were immortal & the world was wide
But thieving years have dulled my hunger
And I am lulled into the autumn — tide
Now gently silenced are these voices when I wake
Heaven’s angel smiling from the sky
She wipes away the tears that drowned my dearest dreams
Worthless words can never say goodbye
The shining gates were held wide open
Inviting you — the very next in line
But when those earthly bonds were broken
They stole away the only love of mine
Though the divine left us long ago
In the world of the base
This humble man remembers you
When the fever breaks & clearness comes to me
Her knowing hand will guide me through the fire
Hers is the lasting love that bears my dearest dreams
Faithless words can never say goodbye
Acts of wonder
Acts of love
Just keep hangin' on
On my way
We’re all on our way
Once in my life just give me the power to see
Into the heart of meaning & mystery
There’s no easy way
To say goodbye
We pour our lives into the fountain
And watch the oceans as they turn to black
It was my dream to move the mountain
And now I strain to lift my broken back
And though your light left us long ago
In the world of the blind
This one — eyed man will find you
Now gently silenced are these voices when I wake
Heaven’s angel smiling from the sky
She wipes away the tears that drowned my dearest dreams
These worthless words could never say goodbye
Goodbye
Acts of wonder
Acts of love
Just keep hangin' on
On my way
We’re all on our way
On our way
We’re all on our way
