"The Next Wake"
Do you remember a time?
There was a difference in life
Now is it on your mind?
Do you care?
You write me from time to time
But until somebody dies
I'll see you at the next wake
I know you're busy with life
But if you want to make time
There's always compromise
You can
With no more weddings in line
Can't wait till somebody dies
I'll see you at the next wake
Cold and standoffish at times
Dismissing me from your life
You used to be just like me
But not any more
And I've tried so many times
To keep this friendship alive
But everything must die
I know
As every day goes by
Years and years of time
Never a word of goodbye
Move on
When one of us is to die
Only the other will cry
I'll miss you at the next wake
