Departure

Wasn't sure I wanted to post such solemn lyrics, but with a lot of kids heading off to college, and just the general transition to the fall routine, I thought why not? The instrumental is also a departure since it uses the computer generated chant sounds that also gives it a more serious tone.  It is at the top of my song page this week...I'll let you judge how much of a downer it is, or just contemplative♫♪

Departure

1. I lie awake at night thinking of my life.

I’m grateful you’ve been part of

My life.

Pills keep the pain stemmed but

Can’t keep the tears brimmed I know how this adds extra

Strife.

Refrain:

Departure can make one’s heart heavy.

I’ll pray that you’ll be strong and steady.

2. Just think of me going on some long journey

Where I’ll be content and be

happy.

I leave behind loved ones

My soul mates through sad times. Remember our glad times

With me.

Refrain

3. Reminisce after I have long departed

I know that you will not forget

Me.

You’ll get on with your life, adjusting past these times.

Now hold and hug me and

Love me.

Refrain

Your life will go beyond these tears.

I will be one with the universe.
