Will you say when I'm gone away
My lover came to me and we'd lay
In rooms unfamiliar but until now

Will you say to them when I'm gone away
I loved your son for his sturdy arms
We both learned to cradle then live without

Will you say when I'm gone away
Your father's body was judgement day
We both dove and rose to the riverside

Will you say to me when I'm gone
Your face has faded but lingers on
Because light strikes a deal with each coming night
