In the hallowed light of dawn
We can see the shadow
Of the ones who've gone before, dancing on the meadow
To the weary dirge they waltz
None of them returning
Marching on a darkening road
Out of memory hurrying
While we draw these fleeting breaths
And we crave an answer
Always toward the edge we march
Flowing ever faster
In the twilight we shall float
Ever down the river
Death will come to steal us all
Making life a widow
Though the days are hastening on
And our hearts are burning
"Peace, be still"
I hear him say
"I'm waiting at the turning
I'm waiting at the turning"
