oh my darling it is time
the battle was long and hard
you were choked by an invisible and incurable hand
far too fast to catch before it ran
it left you fighting a war unable to win
your beautiful peppered tresses
lie scattered on the floor
the rose in your cheeks run dry
oh my darling it is time
it has been long and it has been rough
lay finally as the winds slow
and the night sky becomes silent
all in somber stillness
as an angel's eyes caress it's ebony smile
one last time
do not be afraid my darling
all must succumb to this fate
we will take care of each other
grow a garden in your name
oh my darling it is time.
