You've been gone for a long long time

You've been in the wind, you've been on my mind

You are the purest soul I've ever known in my life



Take your time, let the rivers guide you in

You know where you can find me again

I'll be waiting here 'till the stars fall out of the sky



When you left I was far too young

To know you're worth more than the moon and the sun

You are still alive when I look to the sky in the night



I would wait for a thousand years

I would sit right here by the lake, my dear

You just let me know that you're coming home

And I'll wait for you



Years have gone but the pain is the same

I have passed my days by the sound of your name

Well they say that you're gone and that I should move on

I wonder: how do they know, baby?



Death is a wall but it can't be the end

You are my protector and my best friend

Well they say that you're gone and that I should move on

I wonder: how do they know, baby?

How do they know? Well, they don't
