Let me go (or: At the end of the road)

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little - but not too long

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared.

Miss me - but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take

And each must go alone.

It’s all a part of the Master plan,

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,

Go to the friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Miss me - but let me go.

Another, slightly different version:

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no tears of sorrow

Why cry for a soul set free 

Miss me a little but not too long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love we once shared

Miss me but let me go

For this is a journey we must all take

And each must go alone

It’s all part of the master's plan

A step on the road home

And when you are lonely and sick at heart

Think of the times we only know

For there you will find comfort

Miss me - but I must go
