(Verse 1)
I wonder now
What’s going through your mind
Are you scared, or sad, or lonely
Or is it peace you find
I wonder if you hear me
When I’m whispering your name
I suppose it doesn’t matter
I’ll be here all the same

I know that you
Had made your peace down here
And long ago made up
For all those troubled years
But the sun it still rises
There was more I could have done
Times I chose to walk
When I knew I should have run

(Verse 2)
They tell me
That you’re not gonna last
That your thoughts are all but empty
And your body’s fading fast
I’ll sit and watch you wither
Like time’s pale, pale rose
Left out in snowy weather
But such is life, I do suppose
I reckon that
I should head on home
The world, it’s still spinning
And I’ll be back tomorrow
But if you should fade away
Between now and then
I’ll thank God for the life we’ve had
Oh, what a life it’s been
