To Say Goodbye, Pt. 2: On Our Way

There was a time when we were younger We were immortal & the world was wide But thieving years have dulled my hunger And I am lulled into the autumn - tide Now gently silenced are these voices when I wake Heaven's angel smiling from the sky She wipes away the tears that drowned my dearest dreams Worthless words can never say goodbye The shining gates were held wide open Inviting you - the very next in line But when those earthly bonds were broken They stole away the only love of mine Though the divine left us long ago In the world of the base This humble man remembers you When the fever breaks & clearness comes to me Her knowing hand will guide me through the fire Hers is the lasting love that bears my dearest dreams Faithless words can never say goodbye Acts of wonder Acts of love Just keep hangin' on On my way We're all on our way Once in my life just give me the power to see Into the heart of meaning & mystery There's no easy way To say goodbye We pour our lives into the fountain And watch the oceans as they turn to black It was my dream to move the mountain And now I strain to lift my broken back And though your light left us long ago In the world of the blind This one - eyed man will find you Now gently silenced are these voices when I wake Heaven's angel smiling from the sky She wipes away the tears that drowned my dearest dreams These worthless words could never say goodbye Goodbye Acts of wonder Acts of love Just keep hangin' on On my way We're all on our way On our way We're all on our way
