1. Today, from us, he departed,
and went far away,
today, from us, he departed,
and left us astray.

2. Today,from us, he departed
and he left us in the cold,
today, from us, he departed,
to him it felt bold.

3. Today, from us, he departed,
with his story still untold,
today, from us, he departed,
and time still grows old.

4. Today, from us, he departed,
and he did it without a word,
today, from us, he departed,
with his last answer a nod.

5. Today, from us, he departed,
to never return,
today, from us, he departed,
but his candle will still burn.

6. Today , from us, he departed
and it made us cry,
today, from us, he departed,
and we're left to wonder why.
