may my ghost cast no shadow
may the years become your friends
and if you linger where you can't go
to rest until your spirits mend
and if I leave before the sunrise
don't make yesterday your home
somewhere out beyond the big skies
beyond the blood and sticks and stones
may my ghost cast no shadow
may your pages never tear
may you sleep at night
and hold caresses tight
for where you go
I'm already there
all your distant glances fleeting
I know ghosts that never cry
it's not broke if it's still beating
I know ghosts that never die
