about

The arrangement, as with one or two other songs here, is by Andre Schmidt, who is also responsible for the Belgian dishes at Bom-Bane’s, and comes to cook when he’s not too busy with his other projects.

lyrics

You spoke and smiled and the earth momentum failed
And as I walked away, we watched my body go
My life began as the darkness swiftly paled
This is what I know

You look at me directly in the eye
As we drift along a legendary beam
And when we land, we never say goodbye
This is what I dream

You reach an age when your soul will want to fly
And with shining twinkling eyes I hear you say
We'll rise as one into that legendary sky
This is what I pray

You disappear as softly as you came
Leaving love that grew too loud for you unsaid
My life has gone, your life remains the same
This is what I dread

You find a force that glows as bright as you
And reveals a kindly bearing as we grope
And something good and gentle pulls us through
This is what I hope
