I had hoped that you might find an answer To still the sullen pacing of your heart But the doubt swept through you like a cancer And tore the very roots apart Now that you are gone and we are older I hope you know I never wished you harm Add me to the weight you carry over I hope the sea is warm and calm Worn were the sails that took me from you Pearl were the banners around me they flew On fire was every arrow that fell into the sea Just the shafts now lay black on the surface
