From the recording Sharing Perils

Stephen sang and played guitar.

Lyrics

Burn me when I am gone
Bury me in the sea
Or lay me down to sleep
In the soil, so free

This was always the end
This was always to be
And I believe you'd agree
More or less guaranteed

Spirit, patiently fading
The suffering undone
There's a star that's
Full of shadows
Full of stories
Of what is to come
With an option
To erase this
Mmmmmm
But it's already done

Heaven provides the fire
When you're too blind to see
Or snuffs you out equally
Wondering what could be

There were too many flaws
And inaccuracies
And judging from this relief
My Lord, I'm taking the plea
