My friend, where have you been?
My friend, where are you now?
When you come back it’s like no time has passed.
But I haven’t seen you in quite some time,
In quite some time now.
My friend how have you been?
My friend how are you now,
And how’s the world been treating you?
Oh this world,
How’s it been treating you now?
I’d cross the ocean just to find,
To find where you are.
The shards of our lives, broken and they
Are scattered so far.
There’ll come a someday,
When we’ll meet again.
And the time that’s passed will pass us by,
Pass us by,
Pass us by now.
And we’ll gather,
All that we’ve lost,
And all we’ve thrown away.
All these memories,
And all these days.
I’d cross the ocean just to find,
To find where you are.
The shards of our lives, broken and they
Are scattered so far.
