Lyrics
Little children, sand box lonely
Content to self amuse,
Sad expression shared between them,
Not much left to lose.
Older children heart-ache lonely,
Wondering why you?re not there,
Confusion warning, you?re not gaining,
No worse for the wares.
Grown-up children wondering lonely,
Smarter than you know,
Anger fleeting, lives completing,
Now glad you chose to go.
Retracing footsteps, mute the voice,
Pain stings the heart the soul,
Time has stolen all good-byes,
Too much! No recipient of dole.
Memory keeps them and with it rhyme,
Dear friend you?re gone and for all time,
Your work is done, no sense of fact,
The truth is clear, no turning back.
