Turnings

Alone alone they go
Stand on the shores of the living
And good-bye to the
One who they loved
For we all know that someday we die
But the sadness that burns like a fire
I believe will someday fade away
As the world it keeps faithfully
Turning, turning, turning
Time away
Alone alone they go
And stay while this one goes
Before them
On a journey beyond every dream
For to grow in the garden of G-d
But we who are left
In this physical life
Must go one with each
Trial we are given
As the world it keeps
Faithfully turning, turning
Turning time away
And the day will come
The dead will stand
In the light of the morning
In the hour of man
And G-d will show us
All our lives
And how every moment
Burns forever

Alone alone we go
Each on our own path
We are all choosing
So we drink from the wine of this world
Though some may get lose
Along the way
But save for the deeds
And the wisdom we take
We shall leave this all far behind us
As we turn to a life that's
Forever ever ever evermore
