Days Away (At the Wake of a Friend)

I see the rain - I see the rain
I see the storm ahead
I see the waves crash on the rocks

I hear the waves - I see your name
I see the clouds ahead
I see the day crash on the shore

Here's to life
Here's to your life
They'll drink to us later
Days away...

Everybody raise your glass
Let's have another round, and then another
Everybody raise your glass
Let's have another round, and then another

I think you would have been amused
To see half the people here
You'd have come for the food
And stayed for the booze
And been the last one to leave
Looking out at faces
That I haven't seen for years
I smile and I nod, and I raise my glass
And I remember all the days
