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
 And though he always left with her, still i knew that he was mine
 But i know that 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
 And the children remained at play, but they did so without a sound
 And i know that he will never be 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.
