He walked the Earth and now his time is gone.
In those that knew him well he lingers on.
His molecules are gone, gone, gone,
Sure as the sun still shines on those he left behind.

I'd have gladly traveled with his soul,
As I watched it leave his tiny body
And fly.

But I've got miles to go before I sleep,
And many promises that I must keep.
If I could talk to shadows,
I'd ask them to send my love out to him in the fields.

I'd have gladly traveled with his soul,
As I watched it leave his tiny body
And fly.

He walked the Earth and now his time is gone.
In those that knew him well he lingers on.
His molecules are gone, gone, gone,
Sure as the sun still shines on those he left behind.

I'd have gladly traveled with his soul,
As I watched it leave his tiny body.
