When I finally docked home in the night
I saw your glow above the sand, what a sight
To see the end of the love of my life
Going up in a beautiful blaze of light
But I can't believe my eyes
I saw pieces of you in the sky, burning bright
A shine in my eye, what a brilliant way to die
The few things saved from the flames bore your name
Letters addressed to me out at sea
If I'd only known what I now know
I swear I'd never have let you go, 'till we died
But I'm here alone by your side
As I gaze into your empty eyes
So I wrote this lullaby, what a way to say goodbye
