whence my life's been lived
and I've done all there is
loved all my sweethearts
and start to grow old

I'll move to nowhere and
experience the wonders created
not by man but mother nature

I'll have the wilderness as my garden
the spring as my bath
and the sky as my light

and each night my head will rest on
gods green earth
and gaze unto the most spectacular light show ever performed for man
the rise and fall of the moon
and the ebb and flow of the stars
the wind will breeze across my skin
sending chills
yet finally making me warm
