Song Description

The coming of winter also marks the end of of a dear friend I shared my life with, sitting out on this porch where we had our times together. His death is not seemingly cared about and the culmination of the song it is not an actual person who is his friend but rather his old friend loneliness who was killed by his new wife

Lyrics

OLD FRIEND copyright RogersonLB

Days shorten now grey clouds paint the sky
Evenings quicken as weaker sunsets die
Moon throws shadows across the water too
Leaves me a short time to think about you

CH
Cool crisp chilly air of winter
Has Marked the death of you my old friend
Gone forever but I'm not bitter
Au Revior my dear old friend

V2
We shared this space over many years
Out on this porch with red wine, rum and beers
No more cheap tears and wasting them on you
Nor sad requiem, pained farewells just adieu

Ch
Cool crisp chilly air of winter
Has Marked the death of you my old friend
Gone forever but I'm not bitter
Au Revior my dear old friend

Inside a sleeping is new wife
She killed my friend loneliness when she moved in tonight
She killed my friend loneliness
Loneliness

Ch
