She Went Quietly

There's really not so much to tell

She was 29, showing signs of doing well

For herself

She never spoke of feeling sad

Was, oh, so close with the family and friends

She had around her

But she went quietly

She didn't make a sound

She went quietly

With the wish not to be found

She went quietly

Without a word of where

Just a note that wrote, "forgetting is easier"

Years have fallen since the day

She wrote the note and chose to float away

Into the ether

Someone said they saw her south

At the coast on the river's mouth

But only briefly

Cause she went quietly

She didn't make a sound

She went quietly

With the wish not to be found

She went quietly

Without a word of where

Just a note that wrote, "forgetting is easier"

She went quietly

She didn't make a sound

She went quietly

With a wish not to be found

She went quietly

Without a word of where

Just a note that wrote, "forgetting is easier"

Out of the blue in the pourin' rain

To my doorstep, old and cold today, she came

With her story

I asked her in, but she declined

Had just one single thing to get off her mind

And that was, "Sorry"
