Goodbye, Dear Friend

Some roads that you take

Some bonds will choose to break

I swore I'd no long be the pallbearer

But I carried you to bed

So you could rest your head

You were taking off a load, heavy drinking

The world it carries on

Your memories and song

And your pictures on my wall are not forgotten

There was hymns that came from mouths

That turned crosses upside down

But it came through their teeth with great ease

And all are bobbing heads in sync

And all have got a lot on their minds to think about

But you carry on in pictures and in song

And the unmade be you slept in

Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend, goodbye, dear friend

Some stories break your heart

And some with such applaud

Buried deep inside, where it's ok to cry

Some boy's won't shed a tear

Oh, but a tale like this here

It can break down and get me where it hurts the most

And all are bobbing heads in sync

And all have got a lot on their minds to think about

But you carry on in pictures and in song

And the unmade be you slept in

Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend, goodbye, dear friend
