For an absent friend...

Staring through the looking glass,
I see another side of you.
If we only could turn back time,
it’s not a thing that we can do.
Peeling back the lonely years,
to better times in the sun.

Prechorus 1
Wishing we could go back to a time
a time where it all began
we’re going around again
we’re looking for you my friend

Chorus 1
Every body knows your name,
a smile for everyone as you wander down life’s winding lane
we wonder why you had to leave the frame
we all remember you we wonder if…
you’re still the same

V2
What lies beneath the theatre mask,
to get to know the real you?
Anything we could have said
but what could anybody do?
We wish you could have carried on,
was it too much for you to bear?

Prechorus 2
Wishing we could only see the signs,
to try to stop your pain,
pull the rabbit from the hat,
to do anything we can.

Chorus 1
Guitar Solo
V3
You disappeared before we heard,
what were you about to say?
Were we listening at the time?
I hope we didn’t turn away.
You let the stars out of your eyes
and some things can’t be undone

Prechorus 3
Wishing things could go back as they were,
as the cards fell from your hands,
the tea party where we were,
hoping you would reappear.

Chorus 2
Every body knows your name
a smile for everyone as you wander down life’s winding lane
we wonder why you left the frame
we all can picture you we wonder if…
you’re still in pain

Outro
What I don’t understand,
how could you leave this wonderland?
