“Where you lead, I will follow”


Oh now I’ve only met you once 

You were my fathers closest friend

Before I knew just who you were 

I saw you at the end

 


It was early in the morning  

Your mom was sleeping heavily 

After I knew just who you were 

My fathers friend was empty

 


Right at the place I use to live 

I left my severed soul

I’ll always remember the lesson you gave 

When my fathers heart was turned to coal
