Lost, a Friend

How are you, my old friend?
Are you happy, in the end?
You were given trust, a treasure in your hand
Paid betrayal, like a brand
Mark my word, and what your father said was true
Such a foolish thing to do

And, it's all too sad, but true, that in the end
You've forever lost a friend
Don't look my way, or call my name
It's time you realized, things will never be the same

Where are you, my old friend?
With another's wife again?
Given trust again, a treasure in your hand
Pay betrayal, like a brand
Break your word, but what your father said was true
Such a foolish thing to do

And, it's all too sad, but true, that in the end
You've forever lost a friend
Don't look my way, or call my name
It's time you realized, things will never be the same

How are you, my old friend?
Are you happy, in the end?
You were given trust, a treasure in your hand
Paid betrayal, like a brand
Mark my word, and what your father said was true
Such a foolish thing to do

And, it's all too sad, but true, that in the end
You've forever lost a friend
Yes, it's all too sad, but true, that in the end
You've forever lost a friend
Don't look my way, or call my name
It's time you realized, things will never be the same
