Let's let it fly he said and grabbed your hand/Will be good you said, some things you can understand/You kept him close to you, you did all your could/You tried to see him through as a brother should/But as the days go by/Since you rode that high/And you came down hard/Down the Alpine Slide/And all the way down you were brother and a friend/When people love like that there's no need for amends/That slide is pulls and scraps, and I know it still does/But just like that day, there remains the Love/I know you'll see his face, in the mountains or in your hands/But there's an altitude at which we can never understand/No one will take his place/No rivers, no dessert lands/But there's a drought within us that we will never understand/And as the days go by/Since you rode that high/We all come down hard/Down that Alpine Slide
