lyrics

You were one of the good guys
Never turned away or broke your will
Beer pong replaced goodbyes
And laughter echoes in my head still
Every man owes a death
To this life and nothing more
But to lose a friend like you is a theft
The cruellest kind of Murphy’s Law

And my friends find me reeling
In the aftermath
I hope to see you in the clearing
At the end of the path

When the shot was ringing in your ears
You aimed with your mind
And though life dealt you lead
You dealt it back in kind
Now we know the pain of tenderness
And the wounds inflicted by love
We’ll carry on until the end of this
You showed us what it means to be tough

I’ve lived my life with numbers, figures
And evidence
But maybe there’s proof for the spirit
In its absence
That there’s a clearing is something
I want to believe
So my brother and I can drink with you again
On Christmas Eve

I hope to see you again my friend
At the end of the path
