Schwa Lyrics

To Good Friends Past

Lyricist: Ed McGee
Vocalist: Ed McGee

I'm waiting to see your face around some more
like I did before.
I've mostly let you go;
you're with me, though.
And I'm thinking I'll hear you sing before long
and I'll sing along,
or maybe let you go,
go off on the piano.

	I missed the funeral,
	so I think that I know you're gone,
	but I still hold on.
	Please let me keep you here,
	inside, you'll be safe in there.
	I believe you've gone away,
	but you see, part of you must stay.

You would maybe have us raise a glass,
"To good friends past,"
and "Never dwell on sorrow."
I miss you, though.
And you would say, "Be satisfied, my friends.
Let the sadness end.
Be grateful for the love."
I'm not sure I got enough.

	I missed the ritual,
	so I think that I know you're gone,
	but I still hold on.
	Please can I keep you here,
	inside, you'll be safe in there.
	I believe you've gone away,
	but I see part of you will stay.

Here, I hear your music once again
from deep within.
You're singing in my soul.
I guess I'll let you go.

And you would maybe have us raise a glass,
"To good friends past."
