Take my hand
come dance with me
I'll show you tragedies
I'll show you history

We moved through time and space
stood side by side in the fight
God didn't smile in the end
together we set this world alight

Over the mountains
and over the seas
we watched as good people
were brought to their knees

So tell me
before you have to leave
what else do you have planned for us,
what other tricks do you hide up your sleeve?

A boxed up memory
you give to me tonight
should I wait for morning
to bring it into the light?

Or does the night
with its endless kingdom
suffice for a grave
for a past mistake?

You kiss me with ready lips
sins are forgotten and forgiven
but you leave me standing in the rain
with a little scribbled note that says “keep on living”

I suppose I'll forget you
One way or another
the same way I forgot
about the one I called brother

But if you ever want to find me
you know where to look
between the setting suns gleam
and the place in your dream

I'll be waiting
