Vorbemerkung: Dies ist mein fünfter Song im Rahmen von FAWM 2023 (vgl. meine vorigen Threads hier im Subforum).
Ich schreibe zur Abwechslung mal nicht viel dazu, sondern lasse den Text für sich stehen.
Absent friends (a whisky song)
Sitting on my own, my mind begins to roam
I‘m dreaming of a peat fire‘s warmth and glow
every whiff from my glass takes me back to the past
and speaks of friends that I met long ago
I can‘t believe they‘re gone, only memories to go on
how I wish I could be with them just once more
laugh and talk and sing and cry, never heed how time goes by
as we so often did in days of yore
Chorus
as memories drift by
and the day draws to an end
I raise my glass and close my eyes and drink
to absent friends
Thinking of the songs we‘d sing, how we‘d let our voices ring
as the amber nectar‘s fragrance fills my nose
hints of leather, smoke, the sea, how I wish that I could be
once more with the friends that I once held so close
All the parties, all our talks, all those long and winding walks
over mountains, through the snow, and by the shore
all that gazing at the stars, all those nights we spent in bars
how I long to hold them in my arms once more
Chorus
Let me tell you that I miss you, here‘s to you
my absent friends
