about

Dedicated to the memory of Joe Batcheller.

lyrics

Hey my friend, it's not the end,
You've just gone a little farther up around the bend.
I have to say, I'm not okay,
There's so many things I didn't get the chance to say.
But I'll have time to think while you are waiting,
By and by upon that peaceful shore.
I know I'll spend some time contemplating,
What I'll say when we sit down once more.

I know that our paths will cross again,
I know that I'll make it until then.
So I'll hold my head up high for you,
Do the things you'd want me to.
By the passion in your soul,
And the faith that keeps us whole,
I know.

The morning lights feel like ice,
I miss sitting 'round the table hearing your advice.
The coffee's cold, but not your soul,
I will keep those words of wisdom until I grow old.
The music in your soul will keep on playing,
The notes and rhyme will live on as I go.
Just the other day, I heard you saying,
Before there's rainbows, rain must surely flow.

I know that our paths will cross again,
I know that I'll make it until then.
So I'll hold my head up high for you,
Do the things you'd want me to.
By the passion in your soul,
And the faith that keeps us whole,
I know.

I look around the room and see what's left behind,
The kindness in the hearts of all you knew.
And the love of the family was always on your mind,
Your heart was just, your word was true,
It's not too late to be like you.

I know that our paths will cross again,
I know that I'll make it until then.
So I'll hold my head up high for you,
Do the things you'd want me to.
By the passion in your soul,
And the faith that keeps us whole,
I know.
