lyrics

Play me out when I am gone
Play me out with laughter
Play me out when I am gone
Into my everafter
With faces I love and things that I knew
Were true, were true
'Cause they'll never die
With faces I love and things that I knew
Were true, were true
'Cause they'll never, ever die

Play me out when I am gone
Play me out with kindness
Lift your light, shadows be gone
We'll leave all pain behind us
With songs that we played
And music we made
Behold, the day all things are made new
With smiles unafraid
And blood that flows free
We'll go, we know
But we'll never, ever go

Quietly, quietly, quietly
The night is bright
And full of wonder

The vultures have gone
Every fear forgotten
The roses bloom on
Like the flower of Scotland
The wolf spares the fawn

Yeah

With faces I love and things that are true
With faces I love and things that are true
With faces I love and things that are true
They're true, they're true
And they'll never, ever die

They'll never, ever die.

Here are the remnants of the summer
Here's where I open my eyes

Play me out when I am gone
Play me out with laughter
