about

going away song for a friend.

lyrics

he never spoke a word to me
but left a message on the sea
a paper boat that i could read

i saw him waiting in wings
the boys were singing hymns to him
i left message on the wind
he said," Ed.. please come again"

horses running in the sky
a blue guitar played by a child
angles playing, old man saying
i'll see you when the snow is high


all the houses in your town
circle the cathedral now
but i remember when i found
the smiling boy whose westward bound.

he never spoke a word to me
but left a message on the sea
a paper boat that i could read
he said,
"i love you Ed.. take care of yourself"
