Miss Me, But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?

And bury your sorrow among the trees there.
Miss me – but let me go.

May your heart be warm and happy With the lilt of Irish laughter Every day in every way And forever and ever after.
