Requiem for Arabella


I set your soul free, Arabella,
be strong and fly free,
fly free, Arabella,
and let me be.

I set your soul lifting, Arabella,
on a purging, wrenching wind,
lift with that wind Arabella,
and let me be.

I set your soul sailing, Arabella,
to chart deep waters,
sail the sunsets, Arabella,
and let me be.

I set petals in the wind, Arabella,
confetti for your soul,
clasp petals close Arabella,
and let me be.

I set you at peace, Arabella,
in a world of your own,
rest at peace, Arabella.
and let me be.

let me be, Arabella
let me be.

let me be, Arabella
let me be.
