I remember the sun beating down

Across my back

The taste of olives and pleasures that

You taught me

And we broke bread and then we drank

Cheap white wine

Memories of happiness frozen for all time

I hear you crying in my heart

Absent friends shall live by love

Remember places of my past

Absent friends shall live by love

And the dead shall live again

Absent friends shall live by

Love...love...love...love

And i remember laughing so much we cried

You knew my every thought, there was

Nothing i could hide

We celebrated moons we marvelled at

The night sky

With flute and drum and pen we were

Grateful for our lives

I hear you crying in my heart

Absent friends shall live by love

Remember places of my past

Absent friends shall live by love

And the dead shall live again

Absent friends shall live by

Love...love...love...love

I hear you crying in my heart

Absent friends shall live by love

Remember places of my past

Absent friends shall live by love

And the dead shall live again

Absent friends shall live by

Love...love...love...love
