These are lyrics I wrote over my friends track called "Symphonies".
(Listen to it here to get the feel of the song, it will help a lot and make the lyrics mean more: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Centur...p_178091127385)
They describe the passing of my friend over a space of about a year, from when he was alive, when he passed away, the night he passed away, and being at his funeral.
Shed a few tears writing this one.
I watched over you, with never-closing eyes,
for fear a second without you in my sight,
would lead to hands that would never meet again,
Times we shared, could never compare,
Times we shared, i could never forget,
In times of darkness, you were the brightest light,
your flame would never flicker, and would never die.
The path to the present, wasn't so bright,
a phone call i could never forget, a reality I could never accept,
It seems you wandered from my vision,
It seems you left my side for good,
and now all there's left of you, is the memory that's inside of me.
Why did i feel so alone, why was nobody there?
I gave my strength to those, who didn't even, ****ing care,
you were the helping hand, that kept my head above the sea,
but now i'm drowning in this ocean, with nobody to come and save me,
Looking down into the ship, that would sail you away,
I couldn't bare to even look and see your expressionless face,
I stayed strong for our friends, no tears running down my face,
I had to make sure that everyone knew it was all going to be ok.
Times they change, days will always get brighter,
If loosing you so young has taught us anything,
it's never take for granted what you have,
one day we will meet again, in this life, or the next,
and when that day comes, i swear to never let you out of my sight again.
