'Tis Well, My Friends

'Tis Well, My Friends                    December 12, 2013

Sleeping away my cares;

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

I shall dream o' new affairs;

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

And yet I shan't be heard;
'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

As I live my broken word;

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

And I deem I must be absurd...

... 'tis well, my friends; 'tis well.
Let me sing to thee my last word!

No more cascade o' tears;
'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.
Shall burn o' that which sears;

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

'Tis better that way, I say!

I shall ne'er again be gray;

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

But if I must depart hither

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

For a fresh start, sans litter...

... 'tis well, my friends: 'tis well.

Shall I howl 'pon Luna's rise?

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.
Shall I wish 'pon me my demise?

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.
Shall I say unto all "Fare thee well"?

'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well.

'Tis my life; I live in Hell,

Always the pence in my daily well!

Shall I see you rise again

As I ride towards my new begin?
'Tis well, my friends; 'tis well!
