[male
vocals] (
Soft,
lingering
cello
note) (
Deep,
rhythmic,
somber
bass
pulse) (
Silence)
The
morning
light
feels
colder
than
before
I
walk
the
hallway,
staring
at
your
door
I
reach
to
call
you,
then
I
catch
my
breath
A
hollow
silence,
a
quiet
kind
of
death
You
were
the
anchor
in
the
rising
tide
The
gentle
harbor
where
I
used
to
hide
Now
every
shadow
wears
a
face
of
you
And
every
morning
gray
instead
of
blue
Oh
Elizabeth,
my
mother,
are
you
listening?
In
the
twilight
where
the
evening
stars
are
glistening
I’
m
reaching
out
across
the
great
divide
Wishing
I
could
turn
the
hands
of
time
inside
To
hold
your
hand
and
hear
you
speak
my
name
Without
you
here,
the
world
is
not
the
same
Oh
Elizabeth,
I
miss
you
more
than
words
can
say
I’
m
learning
how
to
live
with
you
so
far
away
I
keep
your
letters
tucked
within
my
coat
I
read
the
steady
comfort
that
you
wrote
It’
s
hard
to
carry
on
when
roots
are
torn
I
feel
so
weary,
I
feel
so
forlorn
But
you
taught
me
how
to
stand
against
the
gale
You
told
me
stories
of
how
spirits
never
fail
I’
ll
take
the
lessons
that
you
left
behind
And
keep
your
wisdom
locked
within
my
mind
Oh
Elizabeth,
my
mother,
are
you
listening?
In
the
twilight
where
the
evening
stars
are
glistening
I’
m
reaching
out
across
the
great
divide
Wishing
I
could
turn
the
hands
of
time
inside
To
hold
your
hand
and
hear
you
speak
my
name
Without
you
here,
the
world
is
not
the
same
Oh
Elizabeth,
I
miss
you
more
than
words
can
say
I’
m
learning
how
to
live
with
you
so
far
away
Time
is
a
river
that
only
flows
one
way
It
carries
all
the
things
we
didn't
say
I’
ll
climb
the
mountain,
I’
ll
walk
the
lonely
street
Until
the
moment
that
we
finally
meet
I’
ll
make
you
proud,
I’
ll
keep
the
fire
bright
I’
ll
be
your
lantern
in
the
darkest
night
Oh
Elizabeth,
my
mother,
are
you
listening?
In
the
twilight
where
the
evening
stars
are
glistening
I’
m
reaching
out
across
the
great
divide
Wishing
I
could
turn
the
hands
of
time
inside
To
hold
your
hand
and
hear
you
speak
my
name
Without
you
here,
the
world
is
not
the
same
Oh
Elizabeth,
I
miss
you
more
than
words
can
say
I’
m
learning
how
to
live
with
you
so
far
away
Goodbye
is
heavy,
but
love
is
heavier
still
I’
ll
carry
you
over
every
single
hill
Sleep
now
in
peace,
under
the
velvet
sky
I’
m
holding
on,
to
every
last
goodbye (
Fading
cello
notes) (
The
pulse
slows
to
a
halt) (
Silence)
