Will you say when I'm gone away My lover came to me and we'd lay In rooms unfamiliar but until now, until now, until now Will you say to them when I'm gone I loved your son for his sturdy arms We both learned to cradle then live without, live without, live without Will you say when I'm gone away Your father's body was judgement day We both dove and rose to the riverside, riverside, riverside Will you say to me when I'm gone Your face has faded but lingers on Because light strikes a deal with each coming night, coming night, coming night Coming night, coming night, coming night, coming night
