Trauerprozess

"A bright sunrise will contradict 

the heavy fault that weighs you down.

In spite of all the funeral songs,

the birds will make their joyful sounds.

You wonder why the earth still moves.

You wonder how you'll carry on.

But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone

Dusk will come with fireflies and whippoorwill and crickets call.

And every star will take its place 

In silvery gown and purple shawl

You'll lie down in our big bed, 

Dread the dark and dread the dawn

But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone

You will reach for me in vain
You'll be whispering my name

As if sorrow were your friend
And this world so alien

But life will call with daffodils 

And morning glorious blue skies.

You'll think of me - some memory 

and softly smile to your surprise.

And even though you love me still you will know where you belong

Just give it time we'll both be fine when I'm gone"

Sandra Emory Lawrence, Compositora de "When I'm gone"
