Cortege

I followed him, in a long black car,

In a long line of cars, we headed into the stars

We never played the game, we only headed on down the line

And though he always left with her, still i knew that he was mine

But i know that i will never see him again

We never looked back, but we never looked ahead

So it hit me like a heart attack, when i found out he was...

And it was a summer day, but the leaves fell on the ground

And the children remained at play, but they did so without a sound

And i know that he will never be there again

I know the sun turns around the earth

They say otherwise, but the truth hurts

And it was a long time ago, when he ran into his mother's arms

And she held him oh so close,

And she promised he would never come to harm

But i know that she will never hold him again

I've come just to say good-bye my friend

Good-bye my friend.
