Farewell

Now is the time

When leaves fall in gloom

When flowers lose petals

So that others can bloom

Now is the time

For the grass to trim

When the mist shall rise

When the shadows go dim

Now is the time

When the roads slowly part

And others come together

For a new journey to start

Now is the time

When you exchange goodbyes

You speak with quivering lips

Look away with moist eyes

Now is the time

Depart hands, that not so long ago

Fell in a warm embrace

To greet each other with a hello

Now is the time

Which you wish would freeze

So you can lay down with friends

And experience the breeze

Now is the time

When you're sitting in the bus

And your friends recede far

Until their specks disperse

Now is the time

Which ends a story

To give way to another

Legend of glory

Now is the time

When you must take a bow

But you wonder if the show is over

If the time is up

If that time is now
