HERESIES

FARE THEE WELL

When the end shows its face
and you finally know your place
and realize it wasn't all as bad
as you thought

fare thee well, friend
fare thee well

Now you have to let it all go
produce a smile
let that little boat row
you out to sea

out to sea

fare thee well, friend
fare thee well

Marie, she will miss you
but time will let her heal
the boys will raise their glasses
in your honor
every now and then

fare thee well, friend
fare thee well

Many came before
many will follow
there's but one rule
in love and death:

eventually,
it'll take us all

fare thee well, friend
fare thee well

The rain begins to fall
as the horizon swallows you whole
at your favorite spot
we'll lay down
a solitary flower

so fare thee well, friend
fare thee well

fare thee well
