my friend so long

D.c. Talk

I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin Joan
She picked it up from the top 40 rack
And then..

I read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call

I know you never meant to hurt us, man
We re just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame

The situation s awfully dim
Should we go up with him?
No way

Chorus:
We know exactly where you are and you re gone
My friend
Don t know exactly where you re coming from
You ve gone away
So long, my friend
We know exactly where you are and you re gone
My friend
Don t know exactly where you re coming from
Have you gone astray

I saw your video on VH1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be a flavour for a spell
And I remember when you used to say
Jesus is the way
I never thought I d see your light begin to fade

The situation s awfully dim
Should we go up with him?
No way

Chorus:

Bridge:
Don t think we don t miss you
We think about you every day
We still love you anyway
Cause love don t go away
There s still this burning question
I got to know why?

chorus:

Wish you well
My friend
