You wrote songs that caught my ear
You wrote songs that caught my heart
From there on after the work of a master
If music is truly an art
If music is truly an art
Words with meaning and depth
Emotions both darkened and bright
A gift you can't hide that inspires and guides
Like a beacon in the absence of light
Like a beacon in the absence of light
Farewell, farewell
Safe passage through uncharted lands
Farewell, farewell
Safe passage to welcoming hands
Your legacy travels about
On airwaves through space and through time
Music and word forever preserved
In silicon, vinyl and mind
In silicon, vinyl and mind
Followers of every age
Still lose themselves in the sound
Speakers a-blaring, users a-sharing
Your spirit will never fade out
Your spirit will never fade out
Farewell, farewell
Safe passage through uncharted lands
Farewell, farewell
Safe passage to welcoming hands
Farewell, farewell
Safe passage through uncharted lands
Farewell, farewell
Safe passage to welcoming hands
You wrote songs that caught my ear
You wrote songs that caught my heart
