"A Vanished Friend "
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has
no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks
rush on,
And before I know it, a year
is gone
And I never see my old friend's
face,
For life is a swift and terrible
race,
He knows I like him just as
well,
As in the days when I rang his
bell,
And he rang mine.
If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call
on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking
of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow
goes, And
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 get and deserve
in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
