I sit here by your side

and weep you goodbye,

I'm singing songs of sorrow for you

true gentle rose of mine.

Upon my arm I've tied a ribbon in black

although I know too well that this

will not ever bring you back. 



I feel so astray inside

as I know you're far away.

Let my love shine and be your guide

on your way towards the portals of light. 



A lonely candle burns for you my only love,

meanwhile you roam the clouds among

heaven's angels high above.

What is there left to live for

as you've gone away?

Hope's lost forevermore,

I'll mourn you 'till the end of days. 



Hear, my love,

hear my cry of deepest grief

as I weep for you eternally.

Praying for your soul

and for light and for relief

as I shed your tears of misery.
