作词 : Hammill | |
In Germany, his days finally caught him; | |
I won't insult his memory with long-distance grief. | |
Tears and wakes weren't his style: | |
not him, | |
not for Keith. | |
He'd have laughed in my face | |
if he saw it get mournful, | |
he'd pull me up short and say "Life carries on" | |
in that gentle way of being cruelly scornful... | |
now he's gone. | |
"I want to see it all, and eat it" | |
was as close to ethos as he came; | |
though he knew he couldn't beat it, | |
he never gave of himself | |
anything less than best in the game. | |
Oh, one for the game... | |
I never did say, I never quite found time – | |
he taught me a lot, and I carry it still. | |
I never thanked him at all for his friendship | |
and now I never will. | |
The diaries we write are those that we crave for, | |
we never put the P.S. at the foot of the final page. | |
He deserved more time, | |
but he never was made for middle age, | |
not for middle age. | |
Not for Keith. |
