Therefore I give this song to you, who gave such grace to me...
Some may come and then abide
Others smile and ride away
Pain referred is pain denied
Let me heal just one more day
You’re gone
Like a shadow on the sun
Unscheduled port of call on the last ship
Your trip was hijacked in the middle of the run
But when all is said and done
Just because you left us long ago
doesn’t mean I don’t still miss you
Just because you’re somewhere out of reach
doesn’t mean I can’t still kiss you
Sometimes though you aren’t even here
I can feel you right beside me
Sometimes when I don’t know where I am
I know you’re the one to guide me
Remembering how love was and is for us
I will always know
Remembering how you somehow always knew
You’d be first to go
