I followed him, in a long black car In a long line of cars, we headed into the stars We never played the game, we only headed on down the line Though he always left with her, still I know that he was mine But I know I will never see him again We never looked back, but we never looked ahead So it hit me like a heart attack, when I found out he was And it was a summer day, but the leaves fell on the ground Still the children remained at play, but they did so without a sound And I know he will never walk there again I know the Sun turns around the earth They say otherwise, but the truth hurts And it was a long time ago, when he ran into his mother's arms And she held him oh so close And she promised he would never come to harm But I know that she will never hold him again I've come just to say good-bye my friend Good-bye my friend
