From the recording Exit 13
Lyrics
So long old friend
You’ve been good to me
You’re all the things a friend should be
In my darkest hours you made me smile
Won’t you stay a little while?
So long old friend
When the winds of change blow fast and hard
It can leave you scarred and fraught with pain
Through my fears I’d look to you
For shelter from the rain
So long old friend
You’ve been good to me
You’re all the things a friend should be
In my darkest hours you made me smile
Won’t you stay a little while?
So long old friend
There’s a space inside my heart
That only you can fill
When all my days have passed
Will I see you?
I will
So long old friend, You’ve been so good to me
A cherished part of family
In these quiet hours I’ll say goodbye
Now I know it’s your time to fly
So long old friend
