| My heart is full today
|
| For the recently departed
|
| Of sorrow and of sympathy
|
| Into that land uncharted
|
| The old man turned away from me The stairway he ascended
|
| I heard his struggle through the night
|
| with Saturn’s hand extended
|
| All those nights when you can’t sleep
|
| Your heart and mind is racing
|
| Are you standing on that bridge
|
| Which way are you facing?
|
| I stared upon his body as My soul was filled with wonder
|
| I stayed there frozen in one place
|
| I could not be pulled asunder
|
| All those nights when you can’t sleep
|
| Your heart and mind is racing
|
| Are you standing on that bridge
|
| Which way are you facing?
|
| I’d sent him upstairs with a kiss
|
| Now he lay in light of silver
|
| It seemed to me I saw that bridge
|
| That he had taken over
|
| Should I make the move to him?
|
| He wasn’t mine for claiming
|
| I witnessed all there was to see
|
| And withdrew without the naming
|
| When I knew that he had been
|
| So much more than sleeping
|
| I stayed with him the afternoon
|
| In a kind of vigil keeping
|
| All those nights when you can’t sleep
|
| Your heart and mind is racing
|
| Are you standing on that bridge
|
| Which way are you facing?
|
| My heart is full today
|
| For the recently departed
|
| Of sorrow and of sympathy
|
| Into that land uncharted. |
