(A lone voice whispers.)
Even though we sadly parted
Like the Red Sea
Chased by lies of the medical establishment
Incarnations of Pharaoh's guards
Dressed in white disguise
But
In this half silence
Filled with sacred tears
And broken-hearted
With my sweet memories
Apart now forever
In this growing cold
Where memory ghosts
Roam
As one gets old
I can still see all of you
Looking so beautiful
By that fast-flowing river

In Sacramento
Walking in peace and serenity
Like the night itself
Effortless
Seductive and so graceful
Even Mother Moon
Seemed to shine even brighter and smile
But all the while
The Dark
Half hidden out of sight
Cancer
Created by chancers
Worked in secret
Day and night
To take away
Bit by bit
By metastasis
My only hope of eternal bliss
And that's why now
All I can do
Is treasure that last memory of you
Walking in daylight
By that river
In Sacramento
At that site
For it brings me
Salvation and a form of peace
For even though
You're now deceased
My eternal love
For you
Will never cease
