Keith - Covenstead

Keith

Keith had tried - but, I'd thought he'd lied
Didn't miss him once today -
Thru several years of unfounded fears
Never knowing what to say

In and out of this game - never doubting we felt the same
Resolution to life's pain ...

I'd just abide when he'd run and hide
Thought I'd felt like he did inside
Then one day while I was far away
He took his own life, forever grey

I heard about it after some time - wondered if I could've thrown a life line
Eased his mind ...

And, was Death good when it came for you?
Did it relieve the pain like you'd expect it to?
This ride is over - but, was there an open door?
What's life's struggle for - is there anything more...?

Why? Why?
Did you kiss the Wings of Angels - have you finally touched the sky?
Why? Oh, why?
Did you climb thru that Last Portal - did you think you were immortal?
That you wouldn't succeed and die?
That we'd find you and we'd try -
To begin to pull you through -
By finally showing how much we loved you?

By allowing ourselves to love you?

So, I just sigh - there is no "why..."
At least that's what they tried to tell me
You may have made it by - if you'd come here to cry
Be whoever it was you needed to be ...

In and out of this game - never doubting we felt the same ...
In and out of this game - never doubting we felt the same ...
In and out of this game - never doubting we felt the same ...
