Moving Song: Lyrics

Wipe a tear, dry your eyes, turn those thoughts to the skies
The time has come to leave here
Pack your bags, leave stuff behind but take care of your mind
The time is right to leave here

Hellos and goodbyes - that the way it all goes
New beginnings mark the ends of chapters that close

The Moon makes her home with new stars every night
Growing in strength as they each share their light
Returning to the Sun to let the New Moon be born
But then from his side, again she lets herself be torn

Hellos and goodbyes - that the way it all goes
New beginnings mark the ends of chapters that close

In the deepest of depths we are each on our own
And must learn how to be at ease there
In the light of the mind there is nowhere else to go
We must learn how to find our peace there
I am you, you are me, but only temporarily
Our faces magic mirrors for something deeper to be seen

Hellos and goodbyes - that the way it all goes

New beginnings mark the ends of chapters that close

Dedicated to Michelle, who so kindly lent me her guitar, and to Kate, whose sparkling help
made the 2009 stay in Cape Town such a joy. Bless you both!
