lyrics

In the fall, when our mother called
Heard the sadness from the sound of her voice
In the room, when we all came back
Watched her sleep and laid awake by her side

Took a while, then the cleric came
Blessed her heart and prayed to God for her soul
Took a pause, then he gently spoke
Sensed a calmness by the way of his tone

Then at night, when her lungs gave out
Felt her pull the last breath that she had
Then at last, when we all embraced
Saw the glow from all the life that she gave

Oh Father please forgive her sin
Last rites to save her soul from it
Let go

Oh Mary please now lead her home
For all of time and let her go
Let go
