Lyrics
SPIRIT.


Wasn’t it you who took my hand
And lead me to your far off land?
Has it only brought you tragedy
Your unconditional love for me?

Darlin’ stand up strong and tall
But I’ll hold you if you find you fall.
God forbid he can’t climb that wall
See him in all creatures great and small.

My heart is with you my dear friend
Beating with you to the end.
No matter what the Angels bring
I pray one day your soul will mend.

Oh the spirit flies across the sky and sails upon the wind
Through the trees and the falling leaves and across the foaming seas.
Through the corridors of time and ‘tween every grain of sand
He’ll be with you in your sweetest dreams and make you understand.

So my love until that time
I can only try to make you smile.
Through the pain an’ the empty night
‘Cos you gave me hope and you gave me life.

This is a gift that will live on past all of us Dennis. No matter what the future brings all life is beautiful and precious, and the celebration of that life is really all we have to offer one another.

You did good my friend, you did good.

Musical Prayer
Wonderful guitar sound, reminiscent of The Byrds... and played very fluidly.

A very thoughtful message, as well.

I sincerely hope your musical prayer is answered. ;)
