What do you think of me now "dear old friend" Once you said all that is will pass and what's left was never worth having Do you think you were right? I felt a twinge of sadness when I heard of your passing And maybe it's true we are all shadows of what we could be But did it matter when they came for you The men with the big, strong hands hardened by the labor we never had to do Will they look down on you and I for mocking their achievements As we sat drinking five dollar coffee getting fat on success With fancy cars and house poisoned with possessions The comforts of life: self expression in the highest order Tell me my friend In the end did it all stop Time frozen in the instant between here and gone are we all a puff of smoke off the **** of a smoldering cigarette Flourishing only to be choked out by the fresh breeze But Then again, if I knew would it make any difference?

On the Passing of an Old Friend
What do you think of me now "dear old friend" Once you said all that is will pass and what's left was never worth having Do you think you were right? I felt a twinge of sadness when I heard of your passing And maybe it's true we are all shadows of what we could be But did it matter when they came for you The men with the big, strong hands hardened by the labor we never had to do Will they look down on you and I for mocking their achievements As we sat drinking five dollar coffee getting fat on success With fancy cars and house poisoned with possessions The comforts of life: self expression in the highest order Tell me my friend In the end did it all stop Time frozen in the instant between here and gone are we all a puff of smoke off the **** of a smoldering cigarette Flourishing only to be choked out by the fresh breeze But Then again, if I knew would it make any difference?
