(This song was intended to be a duet with a female
vocalist who would have done the first verse)

Today's the day you go away. Your train will soon depart.
I stumble over words to say. Do you know what's in my heart?
You tell me that I must be strong. You wipe away my tear.
You know no matter how long that you're gone,
I will be waiting for you here.

Far away, forgotten place, still never far from home.
Everywhere I see your face, reflections of the love you've shown.
No matter how much this world changes me, no matter how far I roam,
I'll embrace you with my memory. You'll never be alone.

Today's the day you'll get the news. Your heart will ache at what you see.
You'll learn what it feels like to loose.
Don't let that heart break for me.
Life burns so fast it seems surreal, and each of us must pay it's toll.
The only thing that lasts is how I feel.
I'll never give this world my soul.

Far away, forgotten place, still never far from home.
Everywhere I see your face, reflections of the love you've shown.
No matter how much this world changes me, no matter how far I roam,
I'll embrace you with my memory. You'll never be alone.
