[Pipe organ solo building intensity slowly before suddenly stoping] [Intro] Pipe organ breathing low Thirty years between us Saw your Name on my phone Then they say you are gone ? [Verse 1] High school halls still hum your laugh Lockers slam then fade to black Heard you died a few days ago News hit hard like a word left unsaid Who pulled the trigger who turned off your light Cops chase ghosts through the broken night No suspect yet just a cold thin file I stare at the wall stay there a while Left asking what went wrong on that night? It's just not right Your not here anymore Quote the raven (Never more) Never more (Never more) [Chorus] In one moment you were gone Now the silence talks instead Two young sons asking why Ex wife holds her anger like the sky Friends and family this holiday season Set one plate empty no clean reason We say your name again and again In one moment you were gone But your story will not end Your tales of journey’s past Will carry on My friend [Verse 2] You had two boys both with your eyes Little half smiles little half cries You left them with questions you never heard Cops draw lines on a faded map We draw lines where our memories overlap Old yearbooks stacked on the kitchen floor You in the margin saying we need more Times like these high school days When life was simply Unwritten And anything was possible [Bridge] What did you think in that last short breath Were you tired of the weight were you scared of death Was it hate was it chance was it wrong place on that night ? Was there someone in the dark whispering hold tight But you walked into the light If that day had gone another way Would you be here would it all be a bad dream Choir in my head singing low and rough We did not say I love you enough Regrets are always hard To swallow Fly high on angels wings We'll see you again On the other side My friend [Chorus] In One moment you were gone Now the silence talks instead Two young sons asking why Ex wife holds her anger like the sky Friends and family this holiday season Set one plate empty no clean reason We say your name again and again But no response In one moment you were gone But your story will not end Your tales of journey’s past Will carry on My friend [Outro] Pipe organ rises then falls away Your Names in the air I bowed my head to pray In the ringing hush one vow one thread We will carry on your memory For your spirit lives on In all those that You used to know [Pipe organ solo starts out loud and slowly fades away to nothing] [End]
