Dear Departed Friend Music and lyric by Miki Greenberg copyright 2018
Time, They say it waits for no one Verse
But it’s standing still for you
It seems to bow and curtsy now
as I am sifting through
All the books you read and lists you made
Of things you had to do
And I am grieving, grieving through and through
Your death rocked the house down to it’s foundation Chorus
Now it’s locked up, locked up good and tight
Things have toppled over that will never be set right
You said standing still is easier than moving
You said feeling good is easier than breathing
You won’t see me you won’t see me soon
I am hiding, hiding in your room
I can’t follow you to your made end
How I miss you dear departed friend
No, no, I’m really not the one to cry Verse
But something just gave way
I’ve held my breath beneath a pool of tears
Now I’d simply say
Someone who I cared about has thrown their life away
I’m so angry that you chose not to stay to Chorus
