My Friend from Whalebone by Marc Douglas Berardo

A1A, rented car
radio playing that song
Over the bridge into the old city
I can almost hear you singing along

Spanish rice salted tequila
looking down on St George Street
there are ghost here on every corner
I can see them from my barroom window street

CHORUS
My Friend wish you were here with me again
My Friend

Now I’m not one for looking back
God knows I am trying to move ahead
But something ancient in the wind led me here
And whispered words unsaid

I’m aware how very cliché songs about old love can be
but I would sing about anything
To have you here with me

CHORUS

Bridge
It’s the people in your life and all the places that you’ve seen
That put your life up on that movie screen
There is a river laid out before you and you must be moving on
Just remember to look back before its gone

My friend you are still shining
Like those stars out on the bay
My friend we will always have our memories and those will never go away

so I’m just going to sit here for a while
Maybe sing one with the band
Drinks a few more then walk it off
Somewhere with you out there on the sand
