Gently waking

A final skyward sigh

Please, send me safely home

It's almost time

Goodbye

Lay me down

The ocean at my window

Here I find myself again

All broken bones and eyes that wear their age

Like going home is etched on every page

Fragile Atlas

He carries that old smile

He will stay his weary arms

To just lay down a while

Lay me down

The ocean at my window

Here I find myself again

All broken bones and eyes that wear their age

Like going home is etched on every page

No!

Won't accept that's the way I go

(By my) quiet hand, sinking slow

Won't accept that's the way it ends

(Won't you) stay like stone and mend

I'll wear the words like Atlas, never said

The day I chose to stay

I wish I could have shared just a fraction of the peace that I found then

My friend

The ocean at my window

Here I find myself again

All broken bones and eyes that wear their age

Like going home is etched on every page

They knew it would come to this.

In the shadow of the mountain, the promise of a new home carries weary feet forward.
