Absent Friends
Ocean green, water eternal
Below the surf, currents flow Curlew calls over Blackwater mudflat to the ocean road. Whitechapel, Wapping and Africa dreams Lives of adventure, stories and schemes Roads that we walked, hand in hand An unwritten book, things that we planned Things that we planned Sing, dance, Drink to their souls Captured in youth, eternal, not old. Laughter in song, you're part of us still Not lost or forgotten, the Best of us all. Kissed by love in the warmth of a day Now apart, time took you away, Distance our reason to want, The lust for our love grows even more. Wind carry thoughts, out to the sky Grey clouds hiding where now they lie Steal me a moment, brief, to reflect Your time unchanging, a youth so perfect. Picture in pocket, a memory clear. The truth in our hearts is drawing you near. In death, summer memories remain Polaroid dreams, always the same Always the same |
Sing, dance, Drink to their souls
Captured in youth, eternal,not old. Laughter in song, you're part of us still not lost or forgotten, The Best of us all. Sing, dance, Drink to their souls Captured in youth, eternal,not old. Laughter in song, you're part of us still Not lost or forgotten The Best of us all. |
