Old friend, my only friend I'm lonely again The thunder is ringing out And I'm on the run again I wasn't there to say goodbye Or with my life defend So my life is heavy now And you have met your end Brave man, Circus man So much from you I learned To leave the world a better place And to let your fires burn You helped me back off the ground When your love I'd not earned Then you died in search of me And I wish that you'd return There's others here now watching me As I say goodbye I know their hearts mean well But I think I may need some time I take my leave with flash of light Just as the thunder chimes Until again my heart permits That I join the Mighty Nein
