I find it best to be prepared
For the tricks of the light
And the shadows things throw
If you hold them too tight
Oh, time is a train and
It's lost to the bend
I will chase down the wreck
Alongside my friend goodbye
My friend goodbye
Well at the chime of a clock
At the toss of a coin
Wherever you are
From Dubai to Des Moines
Oh, let go of my hand
Let's make this the end
I will take off alone
Just me and my friend goodbye
My friend goodbye
My friend goodbye
Some things we'll always know
Hearts and distances grow
Just give me enough rope
And I'll still hang on to
Hope has roots
Like a willow tree
Arcing and searching
For the water in me
Oh I love you, I love you
And I watch you ascend
With joy and with loss
With my friend goodbye
My friend goodbye
My friend goodbye
My friend goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
