Lost Friends - Lincoln Foley Schofield

Pages turn and roads bend
And bad times come and good times end
And yesterday's gone and tomorrow depends
Here's to lost friends

A trouble told is a trouble halved
I met a man who wanted half of what he had
Lungs lined with buildings
Memories soaked with tears
He said this I won't need to remember
I always feel different come September
And he poured out his heart
As I poured his beers

He said won't you hit me Mr. Bartender
I'll kick off this bender
I do not need to remember
I can never forget

I told him pages turn and roads bend
And bad times come and good times end
And yesterday's gone and tomorrow depends
Here's to lost friends

I lost my friends and I lost my way
Until I found Charlie one day
Hanging on a fence on 29th Street
I saw him but could he see me
Charlie I'll always remember
Those Corcoran crazy benders
Then he stayed behind
And I walked free

Now hit me Mr. Bartender
And I'll kick off this bender
I do not need to remember
I can never forget

Pages turn and roads bend
And bad times come and good times end
And yesterday's gone and tomorrow depends
Here's to lost friends

I moved to the Village and I set in my roots
I carried this guitar 'til I wore holes in my boots
I sang in them clubs 'til I settled my soul
I said goodbye to lost friends through rock 'n roll

Goodbye Charlie, goddamn
You were only 22 but you were a good man
Goodbye Robin, you were too young too
You're younger brother came up
And he's a lot like you
Goodbye Dee, I'm still chasing those words
I followed your advice I stayed away from the herd
Goodbye Tina, your boys are like brothers
And you looked after me like you were my own mother
And goodbye Eric, it's been too long
They still talk about you, they still remember our song
There's a long line of lost friends following my every step
I do not need to remember
I can never forget
