Here I stand gazing at the sky alone
As I step upon the dead and withered autumn grass
Where my thoughts drift around inside my head as the seconds pass
In a breeze carried gently on the wind
The petals of a wilted orchid flutter by
Fragments of a distant memory disappear and fade into the spacious sky

I will sing this song you taught to no one else but me
And though your time has come, these notes are entwined
This melody will live as long as time can flow
And now I finally see this is what you've left behind

I know that my time is incomplete
Born without a soul, trapped eternally
But know that my heart is in pain
Without you here to sing harmony with me

As the sun sets upon the western sky
I strum these ancient chords on your pallid guitar
All around, the shadows dance and play with the evening stars
From my lips, I hum the melody
As I pluck the strings with fingers dipped in twilight
From now on, your song will be with me
And I will spread it to the silence of each night

I can feel time moving slow yet somehow I'll withstand
Inside this empty shell, my soul begins to heal
The light reflected listfully from eyes that never understand
Is what proves that this life is unreal

And so underneath the crescent moon
This tune will fill the air as it did once long ago
Although you live on inside of me
You have gone to someplace that I can never go

In the field where you left me, everything has turned to grey
Yet I know now I am free but my memory begs me to stay

I know that my time is incomplete
Born without a soul, trapped eternally
But know that my heart is in pain
Without you here to sing harmony with me

And so underneath the crescent moon
This tune will fill the air as it did once long ago
Although you live on inside of me
You have gone to someplace that I can never go
