Cortege

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
