Our Dear Friend

Tired after the long drive
Long silences aided by sweet thoughts
Of our dear friend we had to leave behind

Day finally fading
Sky finally trading light with night
For our dear friend who has to sleep tonight
Our dear friend we had to leave behind

Why do they do it?
Why do they ask me why he can't come along?
They know the answer
They know he can't and why?
He ain't very strong

But you can feel when he's singing for his mother
That he can steal all he can touch, brother
Even though we're going so far
Just leaning on each other
Are you sorry that we're leaving him today?

We're moving slowly through the sky
So dry the tear that fills your eye
For our dear friend we had to leave behind
Our dear friend we left so far behind

We're moving slowly through the sky
So dry the tear that fills your eye
For our dear friend we had to leave behind
Our dear friend we left so far behind
Our dear friend we left so far behind
