Country-folk ballad with a strong narrative focus. The instrumentation is sparse, featuring an acoustic guitar that provides a gentle, melancholic backdrop, and a subtle bass line that grounds the melody. The male vocals are heartfelt and clear, conveying a sense of nostalgia and quiet sorrow.

Bobby Allen

Is it a mystery to you
When the Fates collude?
When they step out of the shadows
And you're pursued?

Three sisters from on high
Light up your sky, you want to fly
But now you are the apple
Of their eye

Like waking from a dream
And floating down a stream
A moment without warning
Oh unforseen

Gone the anonymity
The sweet obscurity, you plead
But for now the Fates are calling
For now it feels like falling

It's a mystery and more
Three sisters at the door
Is that your destiny crawling
Across the floor?

And where are you now?
Under a cloud?
Is it a shroud?
Oh now, you are their apple
Yes now, you must grapple
With what is coming

C                    *                    F
My peace I leave with you,
•               C
This peace I give to thee
•                F
Not as the world would give
G             G7      C
But, I give it full and free
F                                 G
These things have I spoke
      C                                   F
While I’m present yet with thee
                              G
Be thou not afraid
   C​​​F
For I will come again for thee
   G​​​C
I’ll come again for thee
 
C                     *                     F
If you love me, you’ll rejoice
•      C
Because I said I’d go
•    F
I had told you this before
   G                     G7                                C
So, when it came to pass you’d know
F                                 G
These things have I spoke
      C                                   F
While I’m present yet with thee
                              G
Be thou not afraid
   C​​​F
For, I will come again for thee
   G​​​C
I’ll come again for thee
 
 
 
 
 
 
C                *                   F
The Comforter will come
•                  C
And he will teach the same
•                F
Remembrances will bring
 G                    G7                  C
From the Father, in my name
F                                 G
These things have I spoke
      C                                   F
While I’m present yet with thee
                              G
Be thou not afraid
   C​​​F
For I will come again for thee
   G​​​C
I’ll come again for thee
C                    *             F
From glory now I watch
•                          C
And from Heaven’s vantage see
•            F
All those that overcome
G                  G7               C
I will gather home to me
F                                 G
These things have I spoke
      C                                   F
While I’m present yet with thee
                              G
Be thou not afraid
   C​​​F
For, I will come again for thee
   G​​​C
I’ll come again for thee
