Tracing the light sung by a song fly by night, goodbye my dear love your ship set sail over the horizon, the night I lay holding your hand beside the window. Our connection continues in the courage to face loss, to let go, and begin again.
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend. I'm waiting for you to meet at its destination. My heart knows not the way without the warmth, the light in your eyes, just like on the first day we met. Leaving me behind that empty feeling inside. Tracy my love you will always forever be in my memories, my heart and my soul.
