Last Journey

​

There is a train at the station
With a seat reserved just for me
I'm excited about its destination
As I’ve heard it sets you free

​

The trials and tribulations
The pain and stress we breathe
Don't exist where I am going
Only happiness I believe

​

I hope that you will be there
To wish me on my way
It's not a journey you can join in
It’s not your time today

​

There'll be many destinations
Some are happy, some are sad
Each one a brief reminder
Of the great times that we've had

​

Many friends I know are waiting
Who took an earlier train
To greet and reassure me
That nothing has really changed

​

We’ll take the time together
To catch up on the past
To build a new beginning
One that will always last

​

One day you'll take your journey
On the train just like me
And I promise that I'll be there
At the station and you will see

​

That life is just a journey
Enriched by those you meet
No-one can take that from you
It's always yours to keep

​

But now as no seat is vacant
You will have to muddle through
Make sure you fulfil your ambitions
As you know I’ll be watching you

​

And if there’s an occasion
To mention who you knew
Speak kindly of that person
As one day it will be you

​

Now I can’t except this ending
And as it's time for me to leave
Please make haste to the reception
And enjoy a drink for me
