I Must Be Gone Lyrics

I must be gone
There is a grave
where the lilies and daffodils wave

Please do not stand
at my grave and weep

I am not there nor do I sleep

It’s you it’s you it’s all for you
Everything I do is for your life
It’s you for you it’s all for you
Please do not stand at my grave and cry

I am the one
wind that blows
I am the diamond glints upon the snow

’Tis I the sun

On ripened grain

And now it comes, the gentle Autumn rain

When you awake in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush of flight

See the soft stars shine at night

Please do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there

I did not die
My Spirit is still alive

Smash my heart three-person’d god
That I may rise and bend your force to make me new
Dearly how I love you all, and how I beg requite
But I’m betrothed unto your enemy

Divorce me, untie me, and break me, you’ve locked me in chains
A sudden blow, wings beating still, I feel your heart pounding on me
Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died
I must be gone, you can’t see me,
but please don’t stand at my grave and cry

Oh God let me remember you the way that you were before I died
