Lyrics:

Your passing broke the silence on that dark October day
The sun was heading for the west, as it did I heard you say
I set my sail for a gentle breeze
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be

And you
Did you listen
To anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?

Though now it seems you'll never know, but every lad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate then proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you'll someday see

And you
Did you listen
To anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?

Though the faces we wear sometimes seldom speaks
From the babe that cries to this grown man's feet
May the hand still write and its heart shape keep
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree
