Today I am sad
I lost a friend
I lost a friend I never knew
And I knew as well as anyone

And all night I stay up
In conversation getting drunk
And getting high on ideas
And finding meaning

We spoke
And will speak no more
Today I am sad
I lost a friend

And went to find him
In the old familiar place
But there wasn't a name
And there wasn't a face

Today I am sad
It is nothing
I feared it always was
I lost a friend
