1
We've come to bring you home
2
Haven't we, Cassiel?
3
To cast aside your loss and all your sadness
4
And shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madness
5
For we're here to pick you up and bring you home
6
Aren't we, Cassiel?
7
It's a place where you did not belong
8
Were time itself was mad and far too strong
9
Where life leapt up laughing and hit you head on
10
and hurt you, didn't it hurt you, Cassiel?
11
While time outran you and trouble flew toward you,
12
and you were there to greet it,
13
weren't you, foolish Cassiel?
14
But here we are, we've come to call you home
15
and here you'll stay never more to stray
16
Where you can kick off your boots of clay
17
can't you, Cassiel?
18
For death and you did recklessly collide
19
and time ran out of you
20
and you ran out of time,
21
didn't you, Cassiel?
22
and all the clocks, in all the world
23
may this once just skip a beat in memory of you
24
then again those damn clocks, they probably won't
25
will they, Cassiel?
26
One moment you are there and then strangely you are gone,
27
but on behalf of all of us here we are glad to have you home
28
Aren't we, dear Cassiel?
