Adagio

Please leave my piano where it stays,

For after my body is gone,

My soul will still live there.

And I hope you will remember

All the music I played for you there

As my melodies echo through the forest

In your memory when you are there.

And I hope you tell your children

And your children's children I was there,

For they will see the piano covered in moss

As nature slowly takes on

The instrument of my soul.

And I hope you carve my tombstone

With the words I wrote in a song,

For when any visitor comes,

They can read the melody that I left for them there.

G - C - Bb - A - G - Bb - A

Eb - Bb - A - G - F# - G
