For Tony

I will never remember the first day we met I woke up so early and took my first breath The frost on the window pane, fractured the light You were so happy to meet us, we two in on life The time that you gave me, beyond words on a line We walked out in harmony, not a step out of time I grew like the strongest oak, then the whole forest fell The days became so distant, you didn't know me so well I've heard this song before, did I creare these lines? The story's been told, so many ways, so many times... Is this yours, is it mine? Back in the penniless pathway we were incredibly rich You guarded us so closely from any bitterness kick You din't tell me one day you'd go, like a lion I cried I am alone in the open, just a shell from the tide That little town of ours was all the universe You held me had and guided me through So I'd never be, the little boy lost There's a space in a green field where a tree will be set It's for the ones who love you to show where you rest As every branch reaches for the sun, we will hold you again For you are my brother, my brother... my friend
