Departures

Father, don't cry, it's not so bad here
I'm doing this all on my own (All on my own)
Everyone else keeps passing me by
I float through this place all alone.

I know it doesn't feel like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you, so carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way.

Revisiting this old familiar place
Just to see if you could find a trace
It's time to say goodbye at least you have to try
For me, for me.

(Waiting, wasting away without you here)
But I'll come around, just give me a reason
(Drifting, sinking, searching for a way)
To reach out and pull you close.

I know it doesn't feel like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you, so carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way.

I know it doesn't feel like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you, so carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way.

(Carry me and I can be the light to guide you through)

Don't you cry now, go to sleep
Dry your eyes, don't wait for me
Don't you cry now, go to sleep
Dry your eyes, don't wait for me.

Don't you cry now, go to sleep
Dry your eyes, don't wait for me
Don't you cry now, go to sleep
Dry your eyes, don't wait (Don't wait for me)

Don't you cry now, go to sleep
Dry your eyes, don't wait for me (Don't wait for me)
Don't you cry now, go to sleep (Don't wait for me)
Dry your eyes, don't wait for me.

I know it doesn't feel like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you, so carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way.

I know it doesn't feel like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you, so carry me through
And use me as a light to guide your way.
