Around the corner.
Around the corner I have a friend.
In this great city that has no end.It days go by and weeks rush on.
Before I know it the years gone.
And I never see my old friend’s face
for life is a swift and terrible race.
He knows I like them just as well.
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine.
We were younger then,
now we are busy, tired men:
tired with plain foolish game
tired of trying to make a name
“tomorrow,” I say, I’ll call on Jim “just to show that I’m thinking of him
but tomorrow comes in tomorrow goes
and the distance between us grows and grows
around the corner yet miles away…”here’s a telegram sir…Jim died today
and that’s what we did and deserve in the endaround the corner a vanished friend

I like to dedicate this post to Scott… I went searching for him the other day, only to find out in the disappeared five years ago. He was a dear and close friend, a mutual friend told me he disappeared. I searched to couple different avenues and found out he died of a heart attack. I’ll miss ya Scott.
