Don’t weep for me now, though I am gone, away
The Bridge has beckoned me.
Sad though you are, dry your tears, smile
Just my body is at rest; my spirit is still free.
My howl, now silent
Still rings in your ears.
And the love that we shared
Won’t diminish with the years.
But yonder friends beckon, their whispers grown louder
And I cannot linger here, I cannot stay.
My sun has set; I am at peace, reposing
Yearn though you may for more time, another day.
Don’t weep for me now, though I am gone, away
Together again we shall be.
Forever in your heart, beside you I am
Just my body is at rest; my spirit is still free.
