For Oscar Marzaroli 1933 - 1988



Take me to the place where your heart hurts most

Lead me through the dark world gates down there

Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain

And fear and despair stay hiding

And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place



There's a beach that I walk so long and so broad

Oceans away miles longer than pain

In my glad dreams, I  take you there, and it's easy

Because the work and the hours

And the pay are far behind our sure steps



My heart longs to be next to you

My heart want's to be there, be there with you

Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river

And there you stand with your wide open hands

And say abide with me
