	Lyrics It is eighteen years ago, almost to the day - A sunny day with the leaves just turning (away), The touch-line new-ruled - since I watched you play Your first game of football, then, like a satellite Wrenched from its orbit, go drifting away Behind a scatter of boys. I can see You walking away from me towards the school With the pathos things set free Into a wilderness, the gait of one Who finds no path where the path should be The hesitant figure, edding away Like winged seed loosened from its parent stem, Has something I never quite grasp to convey About nature's give-and-take - the small, the scorching Ordeals which fire one's irresolute clay. Behind a scatter of boys. I can see You walking away from me towards the school With the pathos things set free Into a wilderness, the gait of one Who finds no path where the path should be I have had worse partings, but none that so Gnaws at my mind still. Perhaps it is roughly Saying what God alone could perfectly show - How selfhood begins with a walking away, And love is proved in the letting go.
