The nights are lonelier now.
They are colder and the stars
They don't shine as bright.
Yet there is no blame in sight.
My friend is moving on.
To a town and a life far away.
I probably won't see them after tonight.
Long conversations always brought delight.
But this is the path
That I have chosen.
And I will follow it thence.
Alas, with no labyrinthine sense.
Perhaps one day I will have the courage
To break though the hedge.
And clamor with all my might
Toward a distant calling light.
Freedom from this path of mine.
Freedom from this space and time.
But that is not for tonight.
Now only to say old friend – goodbye and goodnight
