Communards (Somerville / Coles)
For A Friend
(UK, 1987)
for Mark Ashton (1961-87)
I never cried the way I cried over you,
As I put down the telephone and the world it carried on.
Somewhere else, someone else is crying too,
Another man has lost a friend, I bet he feels the way I do.
Although I'm left without, I know your love within
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All the memories of you come rushing back to me
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
all want to do is kiss you once good-bye.
Summer comes and I remember how we'd march,
We'd march for love and peace, together arm in arm.
Tears have turned, turned to anger and contempt,
I'll never let you down, a battle I have found
and all the dreams we had, I will carry on.
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All the memories of you come rushing back to me
As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away
All want to do is kiss you once good-bye. Good-bye
(Jimmy Somerville / Richard Coles)
