song about parting, after a serious illness.
|
My friend I thought we had more time to spend
But plans like waves they break upon the sand
I thought that we could float above
I thought that we could sail away
Well if I had the riches of the kings
Id trade them all to stare at the fire with you
Id trade them all to share our stories again
Id trade them all for love
My friend from Mahau down to Barrytown
It seems the music follows you around
One eye on a distant shore
Not sure what youre looking for
If I had a golden crown to wear
Id trade it in to sit at the table with you
Id trade it in to play with the band again
Id trade it all for love, for your love
Id trade it in for love.
Firelight, casting shadows on the wall
Firelight on the faces of us all
Firelight flames rise up and ashes fall.
