song lyrics
Helen Burns lyrics
Gone away, gone away forever
Not to come back home
I did stay all the night through with you
Without knowing you d gone

Without time for the world to breathe on
The changing dust it woke
Glimpses of all the life you poured out
Till the vessel broke

Don t know if I ll see you
When it s my turn to come home
Don t know if I ll see you
But I hope so, but I hope so

Parting now at our own Grey Havens
The words you left the debris
So be still, knowing that He ll see you across the Sea

Don t know if I ll see you
When it s my turn to come home
Don t know if I ll see you
But I hope so, but I hope so

To be woken from the long sleep
Of this world s night

Don t know if I ll see you
When it s my turn to come home
Don t know if I ll see you
But I hope so, but I hope so
