Again, this one is an original. Please feel free to comment, evn though it isn't all that great, please don't steal it...that would be fucked up.
It's called: "Lost Friend( A Song for Brian)"
Basically my buddy died of Cancer while I was out to sea. I got an e-mail from his family to let me know. If any of you could have met him, you would have loved him like family. Always laughing and smiling. The day he got the news about the whole cancer thing, he left the Hospital to keep living his life as if nothiing had happened. So, I wrote this one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on the way to the Straights of Gibralter. He and I went to grade school together and hung out until I shipped out for the Navy...I shipped out 3 months after he was diagnosed.
Can you really remember, the words that I've said
Over the years, again and again
But now that's it's too late, and you we them off
I want to start over, when our frienship was soft
I feel like, I let you down
You know I wasn't by your side
I feel like, I shouldn't be here
I should have been there when you died
Now the world is without you, so empty and cold
I'm sorry but I, fell away I am told
I hope that you're happy, wherever you are
And the Angels in heaven, from pain take you far
I feel like, I let you down
You know I wasn't by your side
I feel like, I shouldn't be here
I should have been there when you died
Now I'll never forget, the times that we shared
Over the years, while the young disappeared
I swear that I'll think of, those special days
When all was so perfect, before you went away.
