Lyrics
The Soft Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the light begins to fade
And shadows fall across the sea
One bright star in the evening sky
Your love's light leads me on my way
There's a dream that will not sleep
A burning hope that will not die
So I must go now with the wind
And leave you waiting on the tide
Time to fly, time to touch the sky
One voice alone, a haunting cry
One song, one star burning bright
May it carry me through darkest night
Rain comes over the gray hills
And on the air, a soft goodbye
Hear the song that I sing to you
When the time has come to fly
When I leave and take the wind
And find the land that faith will bring
The brightest star in the evening sky
Is yours to find for me
Is yours to find for me
