Long were the days that followed my loss She's sleeping in silent earth amongst the moss Strong was my grief, it ate me inside I will bury it beside her tonight
Farewell sorrow, my friend We're parting ways to join yet again From this soil you were born Into the ground I'll force you once more
The rising wind throws the leaves around It starts to rain I head back to the burial ground Through the roots and past the stones I dig the hole and rip you out of my soul
Oh sorrow, my friend Wait for the day you'll see me again Your time has come to an end To lay next to her you will descend
Farewell sorrow, my friend We're parting ways to join yet again There will be a new time The flower of hope you left behind
At dawn the storm has passed The first of morning rays paint the meadows Among the stones I seek the one And I find a single flower grows on your grave
