Met you on a Monday
Only said goodbye today
Would have liked a chance
To claim the time that got away
Shadows darken that familiar view
Of the greatest friend I hardly knew
Eastern bloc abductions
Northwest coastal towns to play
Just absurd enough
To stick the story to the stay
Laughing at a world I stumbled through
With the greatest friend I hardly knew
Maybe you don’t buy it
Still, I know how much we’ve lost
And if life is a collection
Of random intersections
Count me glad our paths were crossed
All the see-you-next-times
Made the leaving seem okay
Met you on a Monday
Only said goodbye today
Holding fast to what I can of you
As the greatest friend I hardly knew
