Dear friends I am okay going nowhere...you are stuck with me for aslong as God allow me to!!

 

PLEASE VISIT REV. DAVEY AND SMILE!!

“Farewell”

 

Breaking up my dreams of delight

Too bitter…

Dark my light

Weeping like a beaten child

Because of the high pleasure which I had

Your riddle is way to hard to understand

Although it was but for a little while

Out in space I did so dwell


As I climbed nearer to this holy lonely hell

But in the meanwhile far over did I fell

To waste my dreams on saying farewell

A world of trouble within my heart now

A lonely song

Is all I could bring to you dear heart

And for every grain of sand

Through the hourglass of my life

I just have to say I’ll pass

Doors where my heart was now close

Use to beat….with love, love, love

Scattered love now by my feet

I trust I have not waste my breath

Breaking up my dreams so bright

To ship my thoughts of life and death

As I bid you farewell dear friend

Now deep within this ocean of void-ness that I feel!!

I asked myself…

How could it be you fell in love with me

As I still climb nearer to this holy lonely hell

Of scattered love now by my feet

Breaking up my dreams I did

And out in space I no longer dwell!!

As I bid you farewell
