Good-bye, my friend, I've got to go
I pray some day you'll know
the love I tried so hard to give
the kind of love we need to live

unrestrained and unrestraining
I pray with all the strength remaining
for your welfare and well-being
as now within my heart, I'm freeing

the images you left behind
that I might finally find
love as it was meant to be
in its essence - free

and with your image, one last tear
so that you know I held you dear
so good-bye, my friend, I've got to go
to find a place where love can flow
