"Departure Song" lyrics

The Ocean Lyrics

"Departure Song"

Dear friend, companion, lover, partner in crime
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing you these lines
I have turned the hourglass while I'm still trying to connect the dots
The one thing I've understood about time is that it never stops

I will always cherish
Every memory and every moment that we've shared
Every fight that you won in the wake of a long night searching

My dear friend
I will not be gone for long
I will come again
My dear friend
I will not be gone for long

I, I'll go with the wind but not into a void
I'll go with the wind to a place where there's none
I'll go with the wind but not into a void
I'll go where it takes me.

My dear friend
I will not be gone for long
I will come again
My dear friend
I will not be gone for long

Dear friend, companion, lover, partner in crime
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing you these lines
I have turned the hourglass while I'm still trying to connect the dots
The one thing I've understood about time is that it never stops

I, I'll go with the wind but not into a void
I'll go with the wind to a place where there's none
I'll go with the wind but not into a void
I'll go where it takes me

I'll dwell on the reminiscence
Of your unbowed vivaciousness
Your voice, a monotonous cadence
Was strangely soothing

I'll dwell on the reminiscence
Of your unbowed vivaciousness
Your voice, a monotonous cadence
Was strangely soothing

My dear friend
I will not be gone for long
I will come again
My dear friend
I will not be gone for long

I need to leave you
To save you from yourself
I will come again
I must remove myself from your embrace
Blood drips from your fangs
I will come again

I need to leave you
To save you from yourself
I will come again
I must remove myself from your embrace
Blood drips from your fangs
I will come again

I need to leave you
To save you from yourself
I will come again
I must remove myself from your embrace
Blood drips from your fangs
I will come again

My dear friend
I won't be gone for too long
I will come again
My dear friend
I won't be gone for too long
I will come again and again
