[Verse 1] A startling phone call led To a night of little sleep Counting blessings instead of sheep We gathered the next morning Renewing a bond weakened By years of separation And though our worlds had slowly drifted apart The early memories we shared still remained Timeless in our hearts, there was a time when We closely followed each others footsteps Dreaming of endless summers and becoming drummers [Chorus] Those days are gone We mourn the loss of a childhood friend Trapped in a mans fading intellect So long Let these tears wash away the blood on your hands So long Youre forgiven for easing her pain [Verse 2] I can still picture the Apartment where it took place We used to play for hours downstairs Beating drums and hitting snares [Breakdown] Embrace those times to endure That day felt like your funeral Until we meet again You will never be forgotten
