This seems like a song to end a day on.... a very long day to be sure.....an even longer and far more heartbreaking one for some.... rest easy on your pillows this night even if sleep is a long time in coming... find peace in the love that never dies...
 

When I leave this world behind me

To another I will go

And if there are no pipes in heaven I'll be going down below

If friends in time be severed

Someday we will meet again

I'll return to leave you never

Be a piper to the end

 

This has been a day to die for

Now the day is almost done

Up above, a quiet seabird

Turns to face the setting sun

Now the evening dove is calling

And all the hills are burning red

And before the night comes falling

Clouds are lined with golden thread

 

We watched the fires together

Shared our quarters for a while

Walked the dusty roads together

Came so many miles

 

This has been a day to die on

Now the day is almost done

Here the pipes will lay beside me

Silent with the battle drum

If friends in time be severed

Someday here we will meet again

I'll return to leave you never

Be a piper to the end
 

 

 

 

Beautiful song my friend.

 

It reminds me of this song 

 

 

 

Hold me now 

'Cause I couldn't even if I tried 

It's over now 

I guess it really is my time 

I don't wanna go 

But it's time I gotta say goodbye 

So hold me now 

'Cause this'll be our last time 

I'm slowing down 

And I don't think that I can fight 

I know somehow 

You'll find a way to live your life 

Remember just to live 

Every day like it's your last 

So hold me now 

'Cause I think it's time for me to pass 

I don't want to die 

I don't know why 

This kind of fate was meant for me 

You gotta be strong 

Gotta move on 

It's not how it was supposed to be 

And what do I say ?

It was never supposed to end up this way

What do I have to do 

Was supposed to grow old with you 

But it ain't gonna happen

No that ain't gonna happen

Hold me now 

'Cause the time I've got is running out 

No tears allowed

Even though we've become without

I just wanna feel

Your head laying on my chest 

So hold me now 

As I take my last breath

I don't want to die 

I don't know why this fate was meant for me

You gotta be strong

Gotta move on 

It's not how it was supposed to be

And what do I say?

It was never meant to be this way 

What do I have to do 

I was supposed to grow old with you 

But that ain't gonna happen

No it ain't gonna happen

I know I have posted this before but this fits the theme of the last couple of songs.

 

And it's very rare for the original songwriter to state that the person who covered his song made it so much his own
