Farewell to you my love, I'm closing my eyes
you'll let go this cold cold hand in time
This chain around your neck must carry my stone
So I can feel your heart beat against my own
This veil will hide my voice from you and I'm not sure how I'll talk to you
but know while you lie sleeping
I'll be speaking my truths
Be near me always I don't know where I'll go
but I will tell you my stories
On this ocean I'm rolling a wave away from you
but we will roll into each other some day
For a ripple on the water I'll pray
Intro
You will lose my face even closing your eyes
I have gone from skin to earth to tree against the sky
The storms may harm our blossom we call for the sun
and though the rain still pours we know she'll come in good time
Oh silver lining you are hard to see when her face it fades away from me
but I know while she lies sleeping we are dreaming the same dreams
For she is near me always telling me where to go
she listens to my stories
She has this funny notion that tears the tears from me
but I will dry her pretty eyes one day
For a ripple on the water I'll pray
And I know that I will find her by the tremors left behind her
for with each ripple on the water she prays
