Lyrics
Today I got a home to a letter from an old friend
Said he was working on finding his smile
He'd lent it with his heart and left only fear for himself
He spoke of how much he missed being a child
It made me think of a neighbour I known long ago
He spent his days tending pet sheep
Till one summer came and he went away
He died of throat cancer on his birthday
He came to me in a dream and said
'Jacob, Jacob. I never smoked a day in my life'
'You see some people come, some go' he said
'Some people say they will lay with their god
But me I pictured a peaceful black, you see
Where I would lay and think of all that i'd had'
I don't know where I'm going but I know that I'll meet meet him there
This I know to be true
I don't know when I'll leave but I will leave one day
This I know to be true
This is know to be true
Midsummer has come to our walled in park
We spend our day amongst all the stone
By the warmth of your hand, there lies a statue in decay
A shadow fell heavy across my soul
I thought of all those who lay in the somme mud
I pictured all those who perished in France
You asked if I'd play you this song
When you're old and tired
And asked if our love would die when are grey
When we are grey
I don't know where I'm going but I know that I'll meet meet you there
This I know to be true
I don't know when I'll leave but I will leave one day
This I know to be true
This is know to be true
Tonight I sat down to write a reply
I said my friend don't ever be ashamed
Our dreams may fade, be glad that you had them yesterday
You are here now as I am here now
You see I am me and you can be you
That's all I think we can do
That's all I think we can do
