Standard (EADGBE)

 Everyone will sing songs of lost mothers

 Every debt will be paid in the end

 Lives lived will be brought back into focus

 As each one looses the place where it begins

Please tell them I said I'm sorry

 I knew not all that I did

 This message carried hopefully will carry

 Much more weight than words of men down here

 Feel your losses you'll know that it's October

 Stretched out short days eat you from within

 Lives lived brought back homeward

I'm leaving home again

Please tell me it's not the last time

 Though that day awaits keep it far from here

There's still much work we've to get done

 Your lighthouse is burning my travels clean
