Seeing you lie there
Forever entranced with sleep
We’re just the herds of sheep
Saying our goodbyes
Without anymore lies
I want to keep you with me
It was too late to see

Cold hands, shivering palms
The lifeless body of your calms
I see you take the escape now
But why did you have to go?
Please stay here tonight
You are the family’s hovering kite
The spirit of these past fortunes
Even with all your misfortunes
You were loved by many
I’ll keep you close to my heart

You’ll be off to a better place
All my faith in you will carry on
Heading off to that golden pond
Loving arms and warm embraces
We’ll hold onto your memories
Rest peacefully, for these last ten years
There are no more spears
If only this wasn’t the factor
The goodbye to my gray haired actor
Just keep your watch overhead
While we dream of you in our bed
