Fare Thee Well

A dance with unspeakable joy Loud laughter of peace Amidst the jagged edge bounds Down the unnerving hallowed Grounds of death he fell Painful touch of a blessing divine Ambitions tide gloomed with deceit Gone with the wind a beautiful dream Precious life, delicate life The untouchable sword of farewell The fading light shot diamonds in his eyes A painful long kiss goodnight The helpless figure dying to survive Too good for the world, too long to last A lasting song of eternity Tears of a painful truth Daddy, daddy, wake up My weak beckoning voice The half-closed eyes full of love A love that will last He was indeed going home My best friend, my father the hero I will keep you here in my heart For now and for all eternity Fare thee well.
