Goodbye Old Friend
Words and music by Randy Stonehill

Goodbye old friend
Goodbye old friend
Could have known you so much better way back then
Goodbye old friend
My old friend
It’s so strange how time blows by just like the wind

There’s a certain tug of war between a father and a son
Word’s we spoke in anger, damage that’s been done
I guess we’re both just broken like those fences
We never got to mend
Goodbye old friend

Goodbye old friend
Goodbye old friend
It’s so hard to say goodbye I won’t pretend
Goodbye old friend
I’ll cry old friend
When I think of all the things that might have been

I should have thanked you so much more for listening to my song
For all the caring things you did that helped me carry on
They’re with me like a dusty long lost letter
I always meant to send
Goodbye old friend

It’s the valley of the shadow
But the dawning of the day
Dying is not ending
Even though you’ve gone away
You’re running through Elysian Fields
Free at last beyond this mortal clay
What can I say

Goodbye old friend
Goodbye old friend
I’d give anything to be with you again
Goodbye old friend
I’ll try old friend
Guess I’ll be okay but I just can’t say when

Living with your leaving feels so hollow and so wrong
But part of you is part of me so part of you lives on
I believe we’ll meet someday somewhere
Just up around that bend
Goodbye old friend
Goodbye old friend
