Through this world we pass but lightly
And swift we leave this veil of fears
Though a light should burn so brightly
Oh we can but see it in our tears
For you are only sleeping
Before you cross those white frontiers
And we should leave behind our weeping
For how can we see it in your tears
And if you're out there somewhere waiting
Standing in the sun, so silent no one hears
Then speak my name so we can find you
For how can we find you in the tears
Oh speak my name so we can find you
For how can we find you in our tears
And if the night should find you
May the stars go down on you
If the night should find you
May the stars go down on you
Speak my name so we may find you
For how can we find you in our tears
