I would like to dally here
To stay by the gate
With shadows crossing my brow
And wave to new-found friends
Making their journey home
I would like to dally here
To soak up the sun
With my eyes closed
My chin pointed towards the sky
And allow the waves of memories to pass through me one more time
I would like to dally here
In this moment
Here in this place
But
That place belongs to others
And it is me who is leaving now
Goodbye
