In the real early morning With the sun slowly rising I was walking out slowly Wandering free When out in the distance Over the valley I saw and old friend Waiting for me Waiting for me She was a young girl She was an old soul As fair as the ocean Timeless and free She was my mother She was my daughter She was my lover She was everything An old friend could be I said it's been such a long time Since we have spoken There's so much to say to you I want you to know Wish you could tell me All that you've seen here But we haven't got long now For soon you'll be fading And soon I must go She said you are a soldier You are a father You are a wise man You are a friend You were my first love I won't forget you I'm walking beside you I was here when you started I'll be here till the end And now it's evening There's a moon slowly rising There isn't much more that I wanted to know (wanted to know) And I am alone now She isn't beside me no more But I feel no sorrow I'll come tomorrow I'll be on my way home I'll be on my way home
