Absent Friends

I remember the sun beating down across my back
The taste of olives and pleasures that you taught me
And we broke bread and then we drank cheap white wine
Memories of happiness frozen for all time

I hear you crying in my heart
Absent friends shall live by love
Remember places of my past
Absent friends shall live by love
And the dead shall live again
Absent friends shall live by
Love... love... love... love

And I remember laughing so much we cried
You knew my every thought, there was nothing I could hide
We celebrated moons, we marvelled at the night sky
With flute and drum and pen, we were grateful for our lives

I hear you crying in my heart
Absent friends shall live by love
Remember places of my past
Absent friends shall live by love
And the dead shall live again
Absent friends shall live by
Love... love... love... love
