Go home sleeper.
Go home,
Rest tired arms,
And worn soles.
Go back, alone
Though you may be,
Smiles and old heart beats
Wait for you.
Go, sleeper, go.
Leave us the last
Few steps to take,
And beds to make.
Go out across the night
Forward to dawn.
Go and leave us be,
Following soon enough.
Go.
What you've given
Is ours now.
What you take with you
Was given gladly.
Go.
Your smile will linger long
To warm tired mouths.
Your kindness will yet
Dry crying eyes.
Your love will ripple
Across eternity's water,
Until we meet again,
On the other shore.
So go, sleeper.
And know that you
Are just beyond our dreams...
Just beyond the bend...
Just so.
Godspeed.
