Oh, lyrics.   I think this stands alone and tall without lyrics.  But you could do it both ways.  Yeah, try some lyrics if it suits you.

Thanks much for those comments Unc. Sometimes a tune can evoke memories and emotions and it's a wonderful yet mysterious thing. The first time I heard Ashokan Farewell it was a moving and memorable experience. Some pieces of classical music have the same effect on me.

Thank you Richard. I'm working hard to get lyrics that match the feel of this melody.

Oh, Jim.  Pretty mandolin and that song had me in the first few bars. Lovely and full of emotion.  Wow.  I almost never get that much emotion from and instrumental. Wonderful.

Just one of the prettiest melodies I’ve ever heard Jim! Gets the minds attention with the beautiful tones, and the heart ready with the weeping strings. Studio quality, loved it!
