Lily Flower

Farewell lily flower
I’m going far, far away
But I’ll be back within the hour 

I’ll return next day
Before you even have a chance
To wish I hadn’t gone away 

It’s only a couple of nights
So don’t count the darkness
But those beautiful lights 

I won’t change in the coming weeks
I’ll still be the same boy
The next time that we speak 

I’ll miss you this year
But don’t hold your breath
I’m not worth any one of your tears 

We may not meet again in this life
Or even in the next
But I will be with you through all of your strife 

It will seem like for ever
Before I come home
But I’ll be back within the hour
