Absent Friends

Driving, dreaming
Drifting down the road, and back in time
So deeply
Laughing, smiling
Standing in the home that once was mine
Completely

Close your eyes and say a prayer
For just when I think you are there
Like whispers in the summer air
You’re gone, gone, gone...

Looking back at my so-called life
It all looked so easy
Broken toys to broken hearts
Fell apart so gently

Keep on walking
Time can heal, but nothing really lasts
Forever
Fading gently
One day, all we’ll bе is photographs
And memories

So close your еyes and they’ll be there
This secret world that can’t be shared
In memory of absent friends
They’re gone

And just when you think you can catch them
Just as you reach out to touch them
Try with all your might
But they’re gone
They’re gone...
