River left us a while ago Sudden Death It was time to go Life is binding So he is free Feel no sorrow For it was meant to be It was time for his world to end The breeze lifted him Carried on by the wind Over the sea To the sky Why did he have to die? We all sigh His heart so pure Voice so strong, mind so sure

Was he really here? What was he? Not human No, no don't think so Maybe an angel or demon or god Far above us Too far to reach

Goodbye to you my friend,   my brother,   my lover,   my River.
