Departure and Farewell

The summer folds the afternoon
And pins a shadow to the lawn
And sweeps across the empty room
Where I am gone
The sunlight films my waving hands
The final scene has just begun
And pulling back the world expands
And I am gone
Hey, I am gone
Along the way I’ll say to you
«So long, my love, so long…»
Another light now fills the sky
The window searches for the sun
Another chance to say goodbye
But I am gone
Hey, I am gone
I’ll find a way to say to you
«So long, my love. so long, my love.»
So long…
I’m pulling back
The world expands
And I am gone
