Dedications & Notes
This song is based upon the poem called "The Draft" originally written in 1996 and re-imagined for "V".
There was a time and place
When I was introduced to you.
Never before had I saw your face.
You were to me a person new.
Over Time Our friendship grew
Like a very new dawn With an expanding sky.
We were good friends laughing.
Talked of whatever was wished.
Was found to be together talking.
All of that is now thoroughly missed.
Oh, why is it this way?
No longer do we share the same walk.
These days, All I receive from you
Is a harsh closure like a draft
So bitterly cold a frozen hue
Like such hated winter blizzard’s craft
Will it ever end?
When shall end the blue?
When shall you again be a friend?
When shall talks be with you?
Oh, tell me, my friend, when? When?
Some say to abort. You are to me kin.
Why this sudden change?
What made you go?
Can I turn away so?
I want to give hope a clue
But I need a signal from you!
Or else maybe I should let it end?
Wipe away the name of a friend...
and close the door to end the draft
