| Thanks A Million
All is quiet on the stage tonight I thought the show would never end Close the curtains, time to dim the light Thanks a million, my old friend No more riding out there on the western plain As the crow flies, it’s too far to call your name Things around here never going to be the same Thanks a million my old friend First time that I saw you, was through a young man’s eyes Blew me a million miles away And as I watched you there, something in me changed Things were different from the day Took me riding out there on the western plain As the crow flies, I was close enough again Things around here never going to be the same Thanks a million my old friend And as I stand up here upon this stage tonight I can’t help but think of you And though sometimes this life, it almost breaks my heart Same road you travelled on, I do No more riding out there on the western plain As the crow flies, it’s too far to call your name Things around here never going to be the same Life will get you in the end Thanks a million my old friend (B. Bannister for Rory) |
