For when the grey smoke came
When you fell asleep while on sentry duty in Forty-Three
With Billy Boy and Henry
While you all guarded that old hospital in war-torn France
For the Resistance and me
Drunk on moonshine while smoking
I just held onto a soft hand as it suddenly appeared
With a whisper saying
Sylvia
It's time to meet me
Your guardian Angel Jeremiah
As I started choking when all the German bombs started exploding
But don't forget me
After all these years
For even though now my time is done
It's you
I still see
I miss you, so never feel guilty
And I'll always wait for you
Standing here by this
Eternal Holy Sea
Sleep now
My love
For I'll just return
Tomorrow morning at three am when it's your time
So we can share a new dream of a beautiful place where we first met
A unique place where we both can hold hands like we once used to do
In Calais
Before life killed me and we can once more walk on soft yellow beaches
Singing
Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
For I don't regret anything
As far as our Astral Eyes can see
For all Eternity
