Sherlock's Response
By Doctor Napalm
The ones that I care for
Have been in harm's way.
The reason is clear
So I must go away
.
The dawn is approaching
I'm leaving the scene
Nobody can follow
Or be where I've been.
.
I would do anything
Say anything
For them.
But it's not enough.
So I'm taking the fall
It's true.
.
I don't ask for flowers
And I don't ever lie
To save those around me
I just had to die.
.
I'll be gone in an instant
Quickly I'll go
When I'll be back
Nobody can know.
.
The needs of so many
Outweigh those of just one
So this journey is ending
And another begun.
.
I would do anything
Say anything
For them.
But it's not enough.
So I'm taking the fall
It's true.
.
I don't ask for flowers
And I don't ever lie
To save those around me
I just had to die.
.
Will they remember
When time has revolved?
All the riddles I've broken
All the puzzles I've solved?
.
When will I be back?
You never can tell.
It's easy from Heaven,
But it's uphill from Hell.
.
I would do anything
Say anything
For them.
But it's not enough.
So I'm taking the fall
It's true.
.
I don't ask for flowers
And I don't ever lie
To save those around me
I just had to die.
.
I know you are hurting
But I'm a rational man
My future is mystery
I'll come back…if I can.
