You've Gone My Friend

You've gone my friend

You've gone to start your life again

You read the book

It told you how

To begin

And how to end

You've gone my friend

You've gone my friend

You've gone my friend

You've gone



Oohh...



You board the ship

The water laps against the sides

Reminds you of

When you were a child

You rowed the boat to mystery

And walked through trails

Where all the trees

Had faces

You wrapped your arms around

And felt the breeze

You've gone my friend

You've gone to start your life again

You read the book

It told you how

To begin

And how to end

You've gone my friend

You've gone my friend

You've gone my friend

You've gone



Oohh...



The ropes are tied

The shapes lay hard

Against your side

Forgive me for this

Empty ride

I gave to give

And not to hide

You've gone my friend you've gone
