Write on, you fine being.
Write on apart from me.
Write on from the east or west,
across a new sea.
Write on, my beloved.
Until the skies turn gray.
Write on, you fine being.
Write on far away.
Away you'll go;
far away to where nobody knows.
I'll stay here and go on so.
Without you.
When you were by my side,
a million worries died.
But all that is left is a whimper,
without you.
When we all began to cry,
when we touched the sky.
Where will our memories lie?
Without you.
Write on, you fine being.
Write on apart from me.
Write on from the east or west,
across a new sea.
Write on, my beloved.
Until the skies turn gray.
Write on, you fine being.
Write on far away.
