Red Swan

I will never forget the gentle smile and the eyes you hid in sorrow

You gave me the courage to wish (even when it hurts) and to fight, so I can go on

In my dreams (even when I wake up) I will see you again

I sing, with a distant memory in my heart

You defended this fragile and fleeting world with your hands

So please, fold your wings and rest

Sheltered by an eternal peace, love through all eternity

Rest now in my arms, as I watch over you

As I recall your joy, your sorrow, and your rage

I will remember you always, until my life is exhausted

At an intersection, I heard a voice similar to yours

I turned to look up at the sky, to force back my sudden tears

I continue to walk alone, aimlessly, believing that I will see you again tomorrow (someday)

Through rainy nights (and sunny days) I wait for you

I'll never forget that dark night, we made it through

That blindingly brilliant moment when we were all together

Those precious times I didn't realize I should cherish

Now all I can do is remember, I will embrace the feeling

I know for a fact, you were there by my side

You were always always always there, smiling

If ever I lose you, I will find you, I will never leave you

You defended this fragile and fleeting world with your hands

So please, fold your wings and rest

Sheltered by an eternal peace, love through all eternity

Rest now in my arms, as I watch over you

As I recall your joy, your sorrow, and your rage

I will remember you always, until my life is exhausted

That blindingly brilliant moment when we were all together

Those precious times I didn't realize I should cherish

Now all I can do is remember, I will embrace the feeling

I know for a fact, you were there by my side

You were always always always there, smiling
