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
