Right Here Beside Me

I watched you close your eyes
Your body beneath the sheet
As you drifted away
I knew the division was complete
I brushed back your hair
Knelt and kissed you goodnight
I knew it was the last time
I’d ever witness the sight
What could have been said
What could have been done
Seems I’d been fighting the end
Since before we’d begun
I walked out alone you know
I’ve done this before
Shut my eyes, took a breath
Turned and closed the door
Then the sun rose in front of me
Thought of my little one
Turned my face into the wind
Isn’t this place familiar, little girl
Seems like we’re going
On alone once again
And she said
You keep walking on right
Here beside me
It’s just you and me again
