Goodbye, Dear Friend

Some roads that you take

Some bonds we'll choose to break

And I swore I'd no long be the pallbearer

But I carry you to bed

So you could rest your head

You were taking off a load of heavy drinkin'

The world it carries on

In your memories and songs

And your pictures on my wall are not forgotten

There was hymns that came from mouths

That turned crosses upside down

And they 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, you carry on, in pictures and in songs

And the unmade bed 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

It is buried deep inside, where it's ok to cry

Some boy's won't shed a tear

Oh, but I tell it like this here

You know it brings me down to places 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, you carry on, in pictures and in songs

And the unmade bed you slept in

Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend

Goodbye, dear friend

(...)

But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs

And the unmade bed you slept in

Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend

Goodbye, dear friend
