“Goodbye Sirius Black”
To the tune of Candle in the Wind 1997 by Elton John

Goodbye Sirius Black,
May you ever live in our hearts.
You were unjustly sent to jail,
And regret tore you apart.
You've been hiding in the country,
With nobody to soothe your pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
Like the star that bears your name.

You had lived your life locked inside
Your cell at Azkaban.
Always thinking about Harry,
About James and Lily.
And Padfoot, you'll always be here
Around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
Your candle's burned out long before
It was meant to be.

A true friend we've lost,
These empty days without your smile.
Your life you've bravely offered
For the wizards' golden child.
And even though Harry tries,
Your death brings him to tears.
All our words cannot express
How much the Order owes to yeh.

You had lived your life locked inside
Your cell at Azkaban.
Always thinking about Harry,
About James and Lily.
And Padfoot, you'll always be here
Around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
Your candle's burned out long before
It was meant to be.

Goodbye Sirius Black,
May you ever live in our hearts.
You were unjustly sent to jail,
And regret tore you apart.
Goodbye Sirius Black
From your friends lost without your soul,
Who'll miss the warmth of your affection
More than you'll ever know.

You had lived your life locked inside
Your cell at Azkaban.
Always thinking about Harry,
About James and Lily.
And Padfoot, you'll always be here
Around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
Your candle's burned out long before
It was meant to be.
