Rough Silk - A Song for Hilmer lyrics

I just got the phonecall that you suddenly died yesterday Now I'm sitting' here shocked in my dressingroom in L.A.. I still can't believe you're dead – so many things remain Unsaid Sometimes what you give ain't what you get. So now you sailed away to a different shore It feels so strange to know that we'll never talk at all No more I don't know if there is a life after d**h or if this is The end But we all get there sooner or later and maybe then I'll Understand But right now here I sit on the other side of the ocean. I'm on the road like most times of my life. I'm gonna make it home to your funeral but I still can't Believe it's true But you're gone forever and, man, this sure cuts like a Knife So in a few hours I have to go up there on that stage And pretend to be alright like someone had turned the page But in my mind I'll think of you, your wife and your Little daughter, too Well, I wish I would have told you that you were one of Chosen few I'm thinkin' back to when we both were young So many dreams – so many songs unsung We founded this little band – and we tried real hard to Make it grand But youth did fade like words written in the sand So farewell, my friend, and may you rest in peace I'll put on my smilin' mask so my pain nobody sees You used to say "the show must go on" so I'll crank that Amp up tonight And when it's over and they'll finally dim the light It all will fade to grey 'Cause I just got the phonecall that you suddenly died Yesterday
