The album's closing song, it was later recorded by Them with Van Morrison.
The words
A farewell telling someone to leave the old life behind and start again.
The singer tells someone that the time has come to leave, and urges them to take only what they need and let the rest go. Each verse brings a new image of an old life breaking up, from the people left behind to the ground shifting underfoot. The final verse tells them to strike a light and start over. It is a farewell that is both stern and tender, closing the album on a quiet, ringing acoustic note.
