Lyrics
well you wandered out and then you stumbled in, while greeting every moment without a grin, you took apart, my stable head, no not so angry or scornful I just smiled instead, well so long ago, then not so long, we were brazen beautiful bold and strong, and the bitter sweet scent of her hair and loss and alone, gone in thin air - (chorus) well in my thoughts and in my words, I try to speak and breathe again, and in my haze I feel undone..... where do we stand, along the way and what happened to I'll be here to stay, where is the friend, I had til the end, and all the beautiful things that you once said, so many things, that I wish I had, and now there's so many thing's I don't understand, like life and loss, and who's to blame, and the way that it feels when I hear your name....(chorus....well I promise you, could have it all if we had each other to break the fall, you forgotten me well you would say, if I reached out my hand would you push it away, but I still think, you're hanging on, so come on old friend with me sing this song, c'mon with me, give it a try, cause I still see that old glimmer in your eye's (chorus)........... I see your face, and I feel your grace, you will find me in that special place, god damn I'll come, can't wait to see, cause it's not done, no it's not done, but you're gone again, you're gone again, well I'll wait for you, yes I'll wait for you, yeh, and in my haze I feel undone...............
