lyrics

Say being born
Is forgetting
Nine nights alone
Entering into a vision
Of heavier hearts
I fell back screaming—

I hated to leave, I hated to leave, I hated to leave you

You grow like a tree
You harden with time
Harried by wolves
That follow you all across the sky
You went to the cave
To sit with your fate

And I hated to leave, I hated to leave, I hated to leave you

Let’s say, at the end—
When your limbs are so weak
Your thirst is so strong
You hardly can speak
How to pass on
The wisdom you’ve won
They sing a farewell
But how will they know
If Memory flies off
And never returns….

And I hated to leave, I hated to leave, I hated to leave you
