When I fly from this world
I will fly with heavy wings
Weighted down with my love
Of so many earthly things
When I fly from this world
I have hardly come to know
I will bear a cruel weight
Of reluctant farewell when I go
So many things, so many strings
So many ties to hold me here below
When I fly from this world
To the nothing I will be
I will carry too much love
Along with me
