All I hear is silence and numbness is what I feel
A clock ticks on a different floor, it all feels so unreal
The message came in the mail today and my heart is in my boots
Too young to go, too young to die, and sorrow fills the room

So long, farewell, my dear friend
You'll always be with me
In every note, in every bend
I won't forget you
We were as thick as thieves
Like moon and shine
But no rope's as long as time
We never thought this trip could end
Farewell my friend

Relics of the old times pinned on the basement wall
We shared a dream and broke our backs for what's today damn small
We went for broke in Cape Town and we shipwrecked in Phnom Penh
Yeah, all those distant seas we sailed, I'd sail with you again

So long, farewell, my dear friend
You'll always be with me
In every note, in every bend
I won't forget you
We were as thick as thieves
Like moon and shine
But no rope's as long as time
We never thought this trip could end
Farewell my friend

So long, farewell, my dear friend
You'll always be with me
In every note, in every bend
I won't forget you
We were as thick as thieves
Like moon and shine
But no rope's as long as time
We never thought this trip could end
Farewell my friend
