Thread Name: BS: A song and a prayer for Graciela
Subject: RE: BS: A song and a prayer for Graciela
I've only just opened this thread. All my best thoughts to you, and your family, Andres, in your trouble.

Here's a song I wrote when my wife's mother died, and I sang it after my brother died last year too. (And he was born in Argentina.)

Now you've left us behind and you've gone on your way,
over the edge of the world.
You left without warning with so much to say.
Are you just round the corner, or far far away?
Well, goodbye, and I hope I might see you some day,
over the edge of the world.
Now you've gone where nobody can find you,
over the edge of the world.
To follow a star, like the wise men of old,
to search for a treasure, far richer than gold,
and to find a great secret, can never be told,
over the edge of the world.

I'm watching and waiting and trying hard to see
over the edge of the world.
Now your prison is opened, and now you are free,
and that's how I always have known it must be.
And maybe now somewhere you're waiting for me,
over the edge of the world.
Now you've gone where nobody can find you,
over the edge of the world.
To follow a star, like the wise men of old,
to search for a treasure, far richer than gold,
and to find a great secret, can never be told,
over the edge of the world.


Graciela - that's a lovely name.
