[Verse 1]
EFarewell to the Awest now 
And Bwelcome, to the Eeast 
Farewell to the one who raked, the sand beneath my feet 
Thank you for the space we shared, and the heart and soul my friend 
I will see you through the colours, between the mountains as the sun decends

C#mOh we Btwisted and we Areflected upon a Egrin 
Common ground we walked upon, with common feelings & common things 
Yes it is a cruel world, but there is solace amongst the sin

You will see me through the colours, as the sun sinks in the sea
