think of her in your life not her own death
she gave you her best despite her own shortness of breath
malady aside, with you she really tried
remember this day her stay not how she left

soon after the rain, she'll be with you
move on with the faith you cannot lose
those parts of your soul which shone so well
in this true friend free from her shell

if its true, and i think it is, that a person's only true grasp
of other people is that part of them which relates,
then her ghost is most likely that part of yourself which longs
to be embodied now that she is gone

soon after the rain, she'll be with you
move on with the faith you cannot lose
those parts of your soul which shone so well
in this true friend free from her shell

she's never gone

she gave voice
she gave access
to that strength in you
