A Vanished Friend

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great big city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and the weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone,
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows i like him just as well,
As in the days i rang his bell,
And he rang mine, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men,
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name,
Tomorrow I say \"I will call Jim\"
Just to show i am thinking of him,
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance betweens us grows and grows,
Around the corner, yet miles a way,
\"Here\'s a telegram sir, Jim died today,\"
And that’s what we get and deserve in the end,
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
