When you awaken in the dawn I’m that swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight I’m the soft star that shines at night I’m dead in grieve with all the tears But in your heart I lived behind Don’t burdened with times of sorrow Don’t lengthen in with undue grief Don’t stand at my grave, don’t stand and cry Sad and lonely days have pa**ed Through the purple shadow that darkly trail I was alone in my distress and desolation I am here and I am cold I am loss and I’m sleepless I’m the song of the blackbird I’m a thousand winds that blow I am dust and I am free I’m the longing journey Now I am forever gone With shadow that fade away Loss… In life we never know how weak we are
