about

We dedicate this song to all the friends we've lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.

lyrics

Sat down with a pen
I hate to do this again
But I’m writing a letter
Life is a circle, in the end
Lost a friend

To the hand, from the heart
It’s hard to find the place to start
But the words come pulling
Like the horse before the cart
Lost a friend

Will the church bells still chime
When the morning comes and I’m not there
I’ve gone and left for downtown

Neatly fold and enclose
Lick and seal the envelope
Place a stamp on the corner
And address it to your mother
From a friend

Will the church bells still chime
When the morning comes and I’m not there
I’ve gone and left for downtown

Nobody here
To take the dogs out
Nobody here
But the paper still comes

Hangin’ heavy on my heart
Wish I could reach across the stars
And pull you gently
Into my arms, once again
Lost a friend

Will the church bells still chime
When the morning comes and I’m not there
I’m cleaning your garage out

Sat down with a pen
I hate to do this again
But I’m writing a letter
Life is a circle, in the end
Lost a friend
