I heard your record on the telephone

It was my cousin Joan

She picked it up from the top 40 rack

And then..



I read your interview in Rolling Stones

You threw the boys a bone

And so I genuinely felt obliged to call



I know you never meant to hurt us, man

We're just a baby band

You found a quicker way

To scale the wall of fame



The situation's awfully dim

Should we go up with him?

No way



Chorus:

We know exactly where you are and you're gone

My friend

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

You've gone away

So long, my friend

We know exactly where you are and you're gone

My friend

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

Have you gone astray



I saw your video on VH1

Looks like they spent a ton

How does it feel to be a flavour for a spell

And I remember when you used to say

"Jesus is the way"

I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade



The situation's awfully dim

Should we go up with him?

No way



Chorus:



Bridge:

Don't think we don't miss you

We think about you every day

We still love you anyway

Cause love don't go away

There's still this burning question

I got to know "why?"



chorus:



Wish you well

My friend
