Irish Prayer

There’s an unfinished painting on an easel There’s a half burned candle in your room An empty chair that sits at the table
Tears that fall from a bitter sweet tune
Your voice and your laughter are missing
It’s an absence felt throughout out the house I watched as you fell far away from the world Beyond the vail into somewhere else
Beyond the veil into somewhere else
I had a dream I heard the coach rolling Down the mountain and up to the door
I looked away and you had been taken Now the world’s not the same as before
We seem to appear out of no where
Or from where ever we come
Then we just disappear back into there When a life is lived and done
When a life is lived and done
Chorus:
So fly away I won’t try to hold you
Just fly away, it is time to leave
No sad farewells no tears of sorrow
I’m going home, I heard you whisper Going home to set my soul free
I’m going home I’ll be waiting to greet you Here in heaven is where I will be.
I see your face when I look in the mirror
I see you when I look at me
Your presence and grace surround me each day So close and as near as can be.
Chorus:
So fly away, I won’t try to hold you
Go fly away, it is time to leave
No sad farewells, no tears of sorrow
I’m going home, I heard you whisper Going home and set my soul free
I’m going home, I’ll be waiting to greet you
Here in heaven is where I will be.
There’s an unfinished painting on an easel There’s a half burned candle in your room An empty chair that sits at the table
Tears that fall from a bitter sweet tune.
