Once I had a few words left to say I thought I'd save them for a rainy day But the clouds are in my mind once again So long, my friend We fought on the same side of the line But the fight and the years were never kind And we'll never be that green or blue again So long, my friend Chasing dreams down the hall Oh, it's a strange life after all Maybe you'll get one Before it's done The sky is filled with UFOs and stars I hope that you can see 'em where you are And if you think about me now and then So long, my friend Chasing dreams down the hall Oh, it's a strange life after all Maybe you'll get one Before it's done Shoulda known we'd go our separate ways But I hope the road is treating you okay When you get back home, or until then So long, my friend And if you think about me now and then So long, my friend
