Name: Belay Thy Sorrows by Matt Chroust in Matt’s Songs
Duration: 1 min 11 s
Description: A Celtic toast to a departed friend reimagined as a ballad

Belay thy sorrows in the knowing:
I’ve not gone so far so fast,
For Death is but a step ongoing,
Towards that vista unsurpassed.

We’ll meet again by distant mountains,
Ye, my friends who linger here
To grieve, but make this one allowance:
Speak of me with words of cheer.

As afternoon draws on from morning,
Think of me like seasons past.
Remember me when drinks you’re pouring.
Speak my name and raise a glass!

(Speak my name and raise a glass!)

Speak my name and raise a glass!
