From the recording Departure Music
Lyrics
Requiem (for Vin)
I sing a song of solitude
for a friend that I once knew
This dear old friend has gone away
But I'll always remember you
Looking back through the past
and all the things we did
It's a rose-coloured vision
of a dream that's lost in my head
Requiem for you
Requiem for you
I lose myself in yesterday
When everything was right
Just two lost souls struggling
To make it through the night
I close my eyes in sadness
Afraid to bare my soul
Fight a losing battle
Everything's out of control
Requiem for you
Requiem for you
I walk through the foggy haze
Down the rain-washed streets
Trying to grasp at circumstance
But it's always out of reach
I sing a song of remembrance
of quiet circumstance
I hang my head on this sad day
as we struggle to find the way
Requiem for you
Requiem for you
