This the vigil, a silent shrine, among the candles a shadow pined for a freedom, former life, for a new door to open wide.
For you I lose myself, welcome and farewell
Meet me on the other side - hello and goodbye
This in honour, a tribute to the vessel of her who anchored you
Forks of lightning that never struck, for fate deciding where we end up.
For you I lose myself, welcome and farewell
Meet me on the other side - hello and goodbye
Before the changer, before the scar
The world, the oyster, the night was ours.
When a dawn sung chorus our lullaby
And looking forwards was feeling blind.
For you I lose myself, welcome and farewell
Meet me on the other side - hello and goodbye
So toast this table with swollen hearts, reassemble the broken parts
Say cheers it's half full, all we've got
It's sacrificial, but worth the loss.
