VERSE 1
Days, weeks, into years
the frequency of my tears
fall but they never disappear.
I still sincerely want you here.
It's not about far or near -
death is the final frontier.
You took the leap. I've nothing to fear
except for the time alone on this sphere.
I can't leave that way though.
I keep busy so my mind doesn't sway fro
and to on to you, under your halo.
Too good for this world - many say so.
Now you lay low. My head's caught in a tornado
and my heart, pretty much, got KO'd.
Night dreams of mine you invade loads
and I hate those
cos I always wake up without you, and then,
I re-live the disappointment that my friend,
who I loved, won't ever hold me close again.
I'm crushed. G's by the ten descend.
Times when
consciousness won't let me pretend:
you step in to my thoughts and send
me back to those happier times when we chilled in the ends.
To that golden era:
high school and playing capoeira.
Paranaue - we shared a
wonderful fifteen years together.
If I lived ten times that I'd never
forget your smile. You will forever
be in my memory's box of treasure.
Knowing you was more than a pleasure.
CHORUS
Can't avoid the issue:
At times I still draw for the tissues.
That choking feeling. The cause? It's you!
My heart aches and I still miss you.
VERSE 2
Yes Dread,
oceans of tears have been shed.
Your infectious laughter echos in my head.
It's not real, instead
it's a priceless piece of my past I re-tread.
I hope you hear what was said
about you when we heard you'd fled
this world - and the complements are widespread.
A true gentleman:
I was one of many monumental fans
from the moment I met you, fam
and I won't forget you man.
Gone way too soon.
Take out the stars and blackout the moon:
darkness. Silence - end of the tune.
The feeling of shock that totally consumed
us all from the first minute
when we knew we'd lost your free spirit.
You lived your life to the limit
and I'm glad you did it, but I'll still miss your visits.
A true inspiration.
I want to spread your good vibrations;
send your positivity across nations;
take time out and be more patient.
You're my motivation
to try and give people the same sensations
you gave to them, in any situation.
I'll try and live a celebration
of your life in all locations;
with ever-growing determination.
Smile more; fewer confrontations.
Sign out. One Love. Standing ovation.
CHORUS
Can't avoid the issue:
At times I still draw for the tissues.
That choking feeling. The cause? It's you!
My heart aches and I still miss you.
VERSE 3
Emotions we all go through
sometimes in life. The sorrow's cruel
as it hits hard and we won't lose
it 'til we're 6 below too.
It's slow to ease and it seems
tomorrow's due to be the same
but there's no rule; most who
lose someone they are close to
will stop to get up everyday with the sickening
taste in their mouth and a pounding ticker. Then
start to rebuild; in effect, to begin again,
but sadness answers to none - it's hidden in
the weirdest places; the smiling faces
that remind you of the widest spaces
left in your world; the warm embraces
that link to another old oasis.
The memory retraces
mannerisms on a regular basis.
A loss to this world, where the case is
that so many think: "can I now face this?"
due to the love that surrounded a life
and thoughts of the good times that were shared
when no-one else was around and the strife
made less hard knowing somebody cared.
So take despair
and remember that we're only human.
We got this one shot. This here,
could end the next minute so, assuming
that we're blessed with health and freedom,
live a tribute to the fallen. Please them
by making the most of your life while
helping others through using your cerebrum.
CHORUS
Can't avoid the issue:
At times I still draw for the tissues.
That choking feeling. The cause? It's you!
My heart aches and I still miss you.
