- 2. Goodbye, England¡¯s rose; may you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.

- 4. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.
- 5. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind: Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in.
- 6. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England¡¯s greenest hills; your candle¡¯s burned out long before your legend ever will.
