I have a friend who's lived the life
He's danced in wind and shadows
He loved for more than twenty years
She's gone just like the wind blows
He's searched for her in others eyes
Their beauty has not fazed him
Her leaving left him with surprise
While luring lovelies chase him
To lose a love who wore his ring
His broken heart won't blind him
He's open to all good life can bring
And in the wind she'll find him
I have a friend who's lived the life
She'd laugh while in a hurry
Never one to show alarm
She now holds fear and worry
Trying times do take their toll
There is no doubt about this
For every child a hundred smiles
The tears those years they make us
For life itself to fear the end
May be waste of thought
To love it's past it's breaks and bends
A strange cliche of sorts
For in tomorrow's nothingness
Today her dreams are lost
