He never took a backward step Always ready to attack No quarter no regret But he always had your back The amazing thing I always thought Was how he could remember every word Of every song he ever heard And find the chord on a guitar I guess the fall came with the party The booze, the drugs and long late nights The song in life that he had started Began to fade with the morning light Always strong and like a god The mind gradually began to fog When entertaining among the crowd His song still sang out loud Relationships he made a mess of Until his lungs succumbed to asbestos Many lovers came and went And then his money was all spent His later years he lived in silence The battle lost but not the fight Never giving complaint or grievance Always looking for the light Fare you well Palmtree Always my friend You are now strong and free Farewell Palmtree Always my friend he’s gone now but always remembered The kingdom of love is where he resides From winter to summer every month through to December I still feel his presence by my side Fare you well Palmtree Always my friend You are now strong and free Farewell Palmtree Always my friend Fare you well Palmtree Farewell Palmtree Always my friend You are now strong and free Farewell Palmtree Always my friend Fare you well Palmtree
