(R Wright) 3:27
Quiet, smiling friend of mine, thrown into our lives
You gave everything you could, saw through our disguise
I had to stay, I could not leave
Give me time, so I can breathe
Give me time, to be at ease
Patiently, you watched us play parts you'd seen before
Even then we sometimes asked, "Would you keep the score?"
Caught between the tangled web, you helped set us free
Sadly then you lost yourself, so you had to leave
And I must go, be on my way
Let me go, I cannot stay
Let me go, I must not stay
And I must go, be on my way
Let me go, I cannot stay
Let me go, I cannot stay
