Lyrics for To Bid You Farewell

I am awaiting the sunrise Gazing modestly through the coldest morning Once it came you lied Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops I stand motionless In the parade of falling rain Your voice I cannot hear As I am falling again Devotion eludes And in sadness I lumber In my own ashes I am standing without a soul She wept and whispered I know We walked into the night Am I to bid you farewell? Why can't you see that I try When every tear I shed Is for you?
