(R. Wright) 3:27
Quiet, smiling friend of mine, thrown into our lives.
You gave everything you could, saw through our disguise.
I had to stay, I could not leave.
Give me time, so I can breathe.
Give me time, to be at ease.
Patiently, you watched us play parts you'd seen before.
Even then we sometimes asked, "Would you keep the score?"
Caught between the tangled web, you helped set us free.
Sadly then you lost yourself, so you had to leave.
And I must go, be on my way.
Let me go, I cannot stay.
Let me go, I must not stay.
And I must go, be on my way.
Let me go, I cannot stay.
Let me go, I cannot stay. |
