| Lyrics: | In Germany, his days finally caught him;
I won't insult his memory with long-distance
grief.
Tears and wakes weren't his style: not him,
not for Keith.
He'd have
laughed in my face if he saw it get mournful,
he'd pull me up short and say "Life carries
on"
in that gentle way of being cruelly scornful...
now he's gone.
"I want to
see it all, and eat it"
was as close to ethos as he came;
though he knew he couldn't beat
it,
he never gave of himself anything less than best
in the game.
Oh, one of the
game...
I never did say, I never quite found time:
he taught me a lot, and I carry
it still.
Never thanked him at all for his friendship
and now I never
will.
The diaries we write are those that we crave for,
we never put the P.S. at the
foot of the final page.
He deserved more time, but he never was made for
middle
age,
not for middle age.
Not for Keith |
