about

Based on a sonnet I wrote called 'Sonnet for A Friend' this song tells the story of the last conversation between two friends before one of them passed on. In his dieing wish he asks his friend to pursue all that he loves with everything he has and to never forget him along the way. It serves a constant reminder to me that life is precious and we never know when the last conversation with someone we love will be.

lyrics

If God and Gabriel do exist
They′ll know I did my best
Life's oppressions did not resist
Until the curtain drew its final test

Sit with me once more dear friend
I wish you may remember me
Talk no more of the end
Enjoy this last frivolity

I′ll give my all nothing less
Life's last breath drawn
A glorious imperfected mess
Last sunrise of early dawn

Sit with me once more dear friend
I wish you may remember me
Talk no more of the end
Enjoy this last frivolity

Life will fade on us all
What you believe is yours to hold
I won't judge you at the fall

As we sit by the suns rays of gold
As we sit by the suns rays of gold
As we sit by the suns rays of gold
As we sit by the suns rays of gold
As we sit by the suns rays of gold

If God and Gabriel do exist
They′ll know I did my best
Life′s oppressions I did not resist
Until the curtain drew its final test
I will give my all nothing less
And with life's last breath drawn
We′ll create a glorious imperfected mess
Before the last sunrise of early dawn
So sit with me once more dear friend
I wish you may remember me
We will talk no more of the end
As we enjoy this last frivolity
So green the pastures of early light
When my dear friend
Had to say goodnight
