Hymn for the Crossing

Don't need a golden box for my bones
 Don't need your weepin' and wailin'
 Dont need my name carved into stone
 Just sing me a hymn for the crossing
 Don't speak of nights darkened by regret
 Don't speak of today's light fading
 Don't speak at all just sit here by my bed
 And sing me a hymn for the crossing
 The many miles we have roamed
 Each one a mark upon our bones
 In the end we leave alone
 So until then, just sing me home
 Don't fight the tears, the sorrow of the sea
 Don't be afraid when it's raging
 Don't fight the waves
 Let them rock you off to sleep
 While you sing me a hymn for the crossing
 The many miles we have roamed
 Each one a mark upon our bones
 In the end we leave alone
 So until then, just sing me home
 Farewell my friends, although I'd love to stay
 Can't keep the Old Man waiting
 When he calls for you I'll be at the gate
 To sing you a hymn for the crossing
 To sing you a hymn for the crossing
