Valediction

Breathing is a sin they say

Loneliness the price to pay

Sad for you I go once more

I'll dry my eyes on a distant shore

No way of freezing a rising tide

No way of keeping you by my side

Like a bird I'll fly high

Guarding over this love of mine

A room of trust a room of fears

A room of laughter with a few sweet tears

There we lay that sunny dawn

Calm but helpless as we lingered on

No way of breaking the march of time

No way of keeping our love sublime

Like a bird I'll fly high

Watching over this love of mine

Many times we hurry by

Lose our problems in a knowing smile

Many days were swept along

Left unnoticed as our love grew strong

Believing each of us would always know

Believing one of us would never go

Like a bird I'll fly high

Watching over this love of mine
