Farewell my lover, I am leaving
There is but one thing I am needing
I can see my path-a-bending
I but need for you to send me
So take an arrow from my quiver
And fall the heart I want to give her
I can feel your bow-a-bending
I but need you to release me
Lady, leaves already turning
And in the west the sky is burning
There's wisdom yet with to adorn thee
And when I reach the halls of Babylon
I will swing with the hammer you gave me
I will build a scaffold to the sun
With the bones of those who enslave me
And when I reach the halls of Babylon
I will wear the arrow that slew me
I will know you were the only one
When they put me in the ground
