For Roger

Somewhere beyond space
Somewhen beyond time
In a sky with no tears falling
I know your star will shine

Somehow beyond reason
Some way we cannot ken
In a deathless days new dawning
I know we will meet again

Stranger

Sleep now stranger
Sleep without pause
While battles are fought
between two distant shores

Sleep now stranger
Sleep still goes on
Held in the loving hand
of the infinite One

Sleep now stranger
While miracles are done
Hear the sacred chorus
until all pain is gone

Sleep now stranger
Sleep until morn
Rest you mending body
then wake with the dawn
