Miss Me-But Let Me Go!
When I come to the end ofthe road And the sun has setfor me
I want no rites in gloom-filled room Why cry for u soul setfree?
Miss me a little, hut not too long And not with y our head bowed low For this journey that we must take
And each must go alone.
' and sick ofheart 'ng good deeds
