Come hold me as the waves recede
And bare the shore with teeth of greed
'Til in her nakedness she cries
And beats her breast to mournful skies
Come love me by this anguished sea
Which ebbs and flows relentlessly
Then tell me truth or tell me lies
(For nothing here would cause surprise)
Come with me, say your last farewell
Where none shall hear but angry swell
Nor shall they see our bitter tears,
Incapable of washing away the years
Oh love, I go with but a single regret
That you are unprepared as yet
To follow where I must go from here
But I’ll be waiting there, my dear
Come with me, hold my weathered hand
Let us stroll upon the undulating sand
That drags as if by tidal pull
And then releases, merciful.

I don't mind the leaving, exhaling my last Or kissing farewell to the present and past My body is weary, it's due for a rest To give it the credit, it's withstood the testOf time, I've had plenty and so few regrets They're hardly worth telling, I'm leaving no debts Good heavens yes, take me, I'm eager to be There's nobody left now but strangers to me
I've read every volume I wanted to read I've tended my garden and pulled every weed My house is in order, no reason to stay Don't let the sunrise on another new day
Don't force me to sit on the sidelines of life Accepting another cruel twist of the knife This world holds no magic for one of my years And you must be tiring of drying my tears
Let go now, be graceful, let my will be done Don't give me tomorrows, they're no longer fun Give me only this gift, give me dignity And the right to decide to be finally free
