Companion

Fearless companion

still by my side

in the valley of shadow

of death

for love

and my comfort

 

Dark eyed companion

still by my side

in a course of wingless

flight

for love

and my comfort

 

His words

were a beacon of light

 

His dreams

were a necklace of light

 

His song

was a promise of light

for love

and my comfort

 

Fair spoken lies

he said with a sigh

is a veil that strangles

the world

for hate

whence did they come

whence did they come

 

With his eyes on mine

he asked again

whence did they come

why, how and when

and with a tear and a smile

he took my hand

 

my friend

I must leave

but when I know

I'll be home

when I know

I'll be home
 

And so as I turned

his path in the night

led out of the valley

of death

for your love

and your comfort

 

At night I still wonder

and long for the stars

as they tell of a path

of a friend

I once knew

for my comfort

 

No face

to remember him by

 

No sound

to remember him by

 

No name

to remember him by

for love

and my comfort

 

though echoing still

through the wavering shadow

his night time farewell

fare thee well

fare thee well
