Goodbye My Boy Lyrics

Goodbye, my boy, I'm glad I knew you
My boy, I'm glad I knew you well
But behind me, there's a walking road I've gotta leave behind
And there's just so many stories left to tell

Goodbye, my boy, I'm glad I knew you
My boy, you sure put me through hell
But I wouldn't give a minute of the time I had with you
No, it's just that I can't live with this so well

I've lived with you, my boy, inside me
And you know something, you're with me every day
Well you're crawling up inside me, hanging around me all the time
And up to now I just couldn't put you away

But you're leaning up on me now like a specter
Like a stranger I just turn an empty head
You've been bottled up inside me now for oh so many days
And no matter what I do, you'll still be dead

And I know that one day you will find me
And we'll laugh just like we used to do
And no matter what I thought before
I'll never think no less of you

But you can't come with me, my boy, I can't take you
Though I've never missed nobody so well
But you chose a different path, and how I wish you could see me now
But there's just too many stories left to tell

Well, you know, my boy, I surely loved you
In the little time that you were free
And I hope to make sure that mistakes like yours, my boy
Won't do to others what you did to me

Goodbye, my boy, I'm glad I knew you
You slipped, my boy, with you I fell
But I'm blessed 'cause I can pick myself up and leave my boy behind
'Cause there's just so many stories left to tell
