THE DAY THEY TOOK MY FRIEND AWAY
Sitting alone here in the dark
Just like when I took a walk in the park
Angels called and cried that day
The day they took my friend away
And although the hurt still lasts
At least now their pain is past
I should have known before
I'd lose someone that I adore
I should have seen the pain in her eyes
I should have been able to recognise
The signs, they were all there
But that day my head was full of air
I missed every sign and clue
Until their time was overdue
And the angels called and cried that day
They day they took my friend away
Remembering the gentleness of her touch
It becomes almost too much
And almost I can think and feel
And begin to see the stark appeal
Of her dark and painful path
Til I think of the aftermath
We all thought she would last
Until her pain was well past
But she took fate into her own hands
And took her pain away from our lands
Never again will I know
That warm afterglow
Of her carefree laugh and smile
And even though it's been a while
Never, ever will I forget her face
The day she left the human race
And angels called and cried that day
The day they took my friend away
Time will heal and time will pass
Like sands flowing through the hourglass
Her memory lives on in me
Her deep green eyes I still see
I wish I had paid attention
Might have had luck with prevention
But I was young and troubled too
And she was one I looked up to
Never did it cross my mind
The pain she could not unwind
And though she cried and called
I didn't hear and let her fall
We'd argued black and blue
About things of no value
And I took my walk in the park
And ended up sitting in the dark
A thousand angels cried
I could almost believe they died
When they came that day
The day they took my friend away
