I watched you close your eyes

your body beneath the sheet

as you drifted away

I knew the division was complete

I brushed back your hair

knelt and kissed you goodnight

I knew it was the last time

I'd ever witness the sight



What could have been said

what could have been done

seems I'd been fighting the end

since before we'd begun

I walked out alone you know

I've done this before

shut my eyes, took a breath

turned and closed the door



then the sun rose in front of me

thought of my little one

turned my face into the wind

isn't this place familiar, little girl

seems like we're going

on alone once again



and she said,

you keep walking on right

here beside me

it's just you and me again
