lyrics

Sad to hear that you’re leaving,
I’ve been scanning for the meaning of it all,
In life’s eternal waiting room,
Did I sit and talk to you,
About what it is to co-exist
With life’s eternal view.

And all that it put you through,
Did you ever ask for more?
And all that it put you through,
Is life’s eternal war.

The things from the throes,
Of 50 years ago,
Bring, bring me the news,
That I knew before.

Just what did it mean to you,
To take a life and start anew,
That was many years ago
Long before I met you.

They told me that you missed the boat,
When they sent you to Nairobi,
Did you ever intend to go,
To the capitol of Kenya?

The acceptance in your eyes,
The likes of which I,
I have never seen before,
No I have never seen before.

Remember when you danced that night,
And everyone was so delighted,
It’s a memory that makes me cry,
A memory that makes me cry,

They told me that you missed the boat,
When they sent you to Nairobi,
Imagine this old man
In the capitol of Kenya.
