I am leaving, sweetheart
No you mustn’t cry
I want you to take my soul
I give her to you

She sings, sweetheart
Beautiful melodies, you’ll love them
I hear my requiem deep within me
We’re saying our goodbyes

She dances, sweetheart
Around and around the table
Boat rocking on treble waves
I feel the rhythm in my toes

Don’t cry, sweetheart
My body may be dying
But all I am, all I have ever been is with you now
Keep her safe for me
