In memory of John Stahl, 1953-2022.

lyrics

To save you time here’s how we’ll say goodbye
I was just a tourist and now I’m moving on
It’s been great but there’s so much more to see
Maybe when you’re older you’ll feel the same as me

Man it will have been such a beautiful adventure
Everything I’ve seen and that I saw it with you
I’ll send you a postcard by DNA
Honey don’t you cry you no longer need a tour guide
You are doing fine, you have all the maps you need
You’ve mastered the language, I couldn’t be more proud

No prayers please, no awkward talk of God
The Bible’s just a brochure of sites we have seen
But now my soul is itching to travel somewhere new
Any one of billions of galaxies will do
So lay me on a long ship, set it on fire
I’ll write you from Valhalla or Folkvangr.

Man it will have been such a beautiful adventure
Everything I’ve seen and that I saw it with you
I’ll send you a postcard by DNA
Everybody hopes that their journey will mean something
Even if the road has been rocky on the way
And when I look at you
I know we made it through
Honey don’t you cry you no longer need a tour guide
You are doing fine, you have all the maps you need
You’ve mastered the language, I couldn’t be more proud
But I am leaving now

I don’t know what’s in store
When my ship leaves this shore
And if it’s just an empty sea
I hope you’ll still think of me
