lyrics

A Fond Farewell (Jon Byrd)

As your road goes on before you
Your friends, they all adore you
And look for simple ways to say goodbye

Your troubadour collection
Who relied on your affection
We never seemed so lost as we do now

The nights of drunken revelry
The days of tragic sympathy
Those times make up the people we are now

The arguments and bluster
Affairs of love and luster
Battle scars received from wrestling fate

A fond farewell, it seems so strange
To find such love and still be parting ways
A fond farewell with you I send
A fond farewell until we meet again
Until we meet again

When time has had its way
What will the searchers say
When dust we've all become what will they find?

That a home is more than fixtures
More than songs or pictures
It's how they parted ways that tells the tale

A fond farewell, it seems so strange
To find such love and still be parting ways
A fond farewell with you I send
A fond farewell until we meet again
Until we meet again
Until we meet again
Until we meet again
