about

Song for a friend. We all go there some day.

lyrics

funny how life goes, just when you think you know
it’ll hit you so sudden, you never even see the blow
and all the things you’ve been missin’, they seem to crowd around
the way the shadows get longer when the sun goes down

and it’s only one drop of water in a clear blue sky
but it’s enough to say good-bye

you see the minstrel on the sidewalk singin’, you hear the cowboy song
you see the old road traveler passin’, lookin’ for a place to belong
you see the bird do an aerial dance, you see the wing in the sunlight glisten
there’s music everywhere if you know how to listen

and it’s only one drop of water in a clear blue sky
but it’s enough to say good-bye

oh and all of us, we are more than we appear
all of that life, all of those years
standin’ on a beach head, where the land and the water part
and all that really matters is what you hold in your heart

oh friend of mine, how can I say
when your last great breath of life took my words away
laughin’ ‘cause we have to, laughin’ in the face of it all
somewhere forever, on the other side of that wall

and it’s only one drop of water in a clear blue sky
but it’s enough to say good-bye
