Departures
Journey of Goodbyes: Navigating Life's Swift Farewells
Lyrics
The speeds of departure
The pace at which departures occur
The times of arrival
The moments of reaching a destination
Your speed of departure
Your departure's swiftness
Was faster than I'd hoped
Occurred more rapidly than anticipated
When you told me there was two months left to go
You mentioned there were only two months remaining
I told you that I think you're lying
I doubted the truthfulness of your statement
But here I am a year's moved on
A year has passed since then
And hell it's been a year of trying
It's been a challenging year of efforts
The speeds of departure
The speed of departures in general
The times of arrival
The instances of reaching destinations in general
Your speed of departure
Your specific departure's pace
Was faster than I'd hoped
Was faster than desired
I laid my eyes on where you rested
I located where you were laid to rest
The flowers made it easier to find
Flowers made it easier to identify
We spent the afternoon together
We spent time together, though not as expected
Just not the time I had in mind
The duration wasn't what I had hoped for
Overgrown, left alone
Overgrown and deserted
And I can't shake this sinking feeling
I can't shake off this sinking feeling of sadness
You should know, you're not alone
You're not alone until I'm also gone
Until I'm gone
I'll keep singing even after I'm gone
I'll still be singing
The pace of departures in general (repetition)
The speeds of departure
The instances of reaching destinations in general (repetition)
The times of arrival
Your specific departure's pace (repetition)
Your speed of departure
Was faster than initially wished for (repetition)
Was faster than I had hoped
The pace of departures in general (repetition)
The speeds of departure
The parting moments are a natural aspect of life
(It's part of life)
(Parenthetical) Live life while others pass away
The times of arrival
(Parenthetical) Embrace life amidst others' deaths
(Live while others die)
(Parenthetical) Live life while others pass away
Your speed of departure
(Parenthetical) The natural cycle of departures (repetition)
(It's part of life)
(Parenthetical) Wondering about the reasons for departures (repetition)
Was faster than I'd hoped
(Parenthetical) Live life while others pass away (repetition)
(Always wondered why)
(Parenthetical) Wondering about the reasons for departures (repetition)
The speeds of departure
(Parenthetical) The natural cycle of departures (repetition)
(It's part of life)
(Parenthetical) Embrace life amidst others' deaths (repetition)
The times of arrival
(Parenthetical) The natural cycle of departures (repetition)
(Live while others die)
(Parenthetical) Live life while others pass away (repetition)
Your speed of departure
(Parenthetical) The natural cycle of departures (repetition)
(It's part of life)
(Parenthetical) Wondering about the reasons for departures (repetition)
Was faster than I had hoped
(Parenthetical) Was faster than initially wished for (repetition)
