Earthly Things
Spirit girl, to whom it was given
To revisit scenes of pain
From the hell I thought was heaven
You lifted me again
Through the world (that) I inherit
where I loved her ‘ere she died
I am walking with the spirit
Of a dead girl by my side
Through my old possessions only
for a very little while
And they say that I am lonely
and they pity, but I smile
For the brighter side has won me
By the calmness that it brings
And the peace that is upon me
Does not come of earthly things
Spirit girl, the good is in me,
But the flesh, we know is weak
And with no pure soul to win me,
i just might miss the path I seek
Lead me by the love you bore me
When you walked this earth with me
Till the light is clear before me
And my spirit too is free
