Taken Away

The eye ranged the room

When I met my doom

And the sands have run out

The sky is overcast

And my thoughts have ranged the past

The sunset glow so crimson

And when all is on the slope

The parting hour of hope

And a cone of rays awaits

Whenever we mourn at the bed

And pray for the soul of the dead

Was there all said and done

Under this pale sun

The end of the matter's a tear

A crushing blow so full of fear

The darkest hour of day

When you are gone and taken away

Ivy-clad the bed

Some dark clouds overhead

I am at a loss of words

The river draws to a close

From source to sea it goes

The eleventh hour's near

Whenever we mourn at the bed

And pray for the soul of the dead

Was there all said and done

Under this pale sun

The end of the matter's a tear

A crushing blow so full of fear

The darkest hour of day

When you are finally gone and taken away
