The birds, they sang for you
Before the dawning light
All around, the granite stones
Remembrance pierced the air
Engraved to your life
Light the candle
Place the flowers
Cross my heart
Turn back, turn back
Now only in a metaphor
Your rhyme, your reason
Helped me find my way
I shall repeat that journey
As you did before me
Different words, different music
And different deeds to play
