• When I'm no longer here,
    Gone to the sea;
    After all of my years,
    Will you remember me?
    After all of this pain,
    After all of my strife,
    I see a deep stain,
    Will you remember my life?
    I've seen the coming clouds,
    I know what they bring,
    A veil of dark shrouds,
    What sorrow they sing.
    I've got nothing left,
    Not a parcel to spare,
    When my body is heft,
    Will you even care?
    My days have run short,
    I've run out of time,
    Like an old burning fort,
    I'm becoming sublime.
    Now I ask you once more,
    Please I pray listen,
    My eyes are so sore,
    Can you see my cheeks glisten?
    I've nothing to give,
    Can you not see?
    You know that I live.
    Do you remember me?
