One day we all

We all just slip away

In memories the ghosts remain

Our tracks will slowly fade

Your leaving brought me light

And my darkest days

A reminder of what to keep in sight

I'll pay tribute to your ways

Shine the light on years to come

It forces me to see

Won't be the same to anyone

But I know what's right for me

Apparently, we should accept

The hole that's left behind

But this sadness will be kept

To that, I am resigned

The lines in the wood

The lines in my head

I learnt from you in many ways

Both joy and grief have their place

These things I'll always remember

Your memory glows bright like embers

I swallow words unsaid

They burn my lungs and eyes

Tracing back the constant threads

Now scattered in the skies

The grains in the air

The grains in the sea

Gone but not lost

I'll keep you with me

The lines in the wood

The lines in my head

I hold on to the good

In all that you shared

September left us bereft

We hoped for one last call

Tracing over letters left

The sun sets on my wall

The lines in the wood

The lines in my head

I learnt from you in many ways

Both joy and grief have their place

These things I'll always remember

Your memory glows bright like embers

I learnt from you in many ways

Both joy and grief have their place

These things I'll always remember

Your memory glows bright like embers
