farewell

If I never pass this way again
I ask you to remember
Love is a fair and fleeting thing
But you are my brother

Sweet bitterness, farewell
To blue eyes like no other's
Strong enough for two of us
And named by our mother

If I ever cross your mind somewhere
As the pale moon before dawning
Bide no sorrow in your heart
But this song, for remem'bring
