Fare Thee Well
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.
Prepare them not for sunrise
We’ll watch them go
I often see your small ghost
In funeral clothes
Prepare them not for wartime
They’ll sing its tune
I left you on your own child
10 years too soon
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Prepare them not for long lives
In soil immersed
We speak by your small headstone
You left me first
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
