When I come to the end of my road

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free

Miss me a little but not for too long

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love/friendship that once we shared.

Miss me, but let me go

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the master plan.

A step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick of heart

Go to the friends we know.

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
