The List

The List of people that I can call my friends

Gets shorter every day

The list of names I can call and say 'hi'

Gets shorter in every way

Some left or died, some lied, when they said they'd call

Or was it me who never tried

The list of people that I can call my friends

Vanishes in time passing by

The list of things that I still need to do

Gets longer all the time

The travels and ideas, the plans that I drew

Are awaiting already for awhile

Some I'll do, some I won't

I need another life to do the things I don't

The list of things that I still need to do

Is out on the longer road

The list of things that I really need

Fits in the palm of my hand

The things that make me feel good, oh yes indeed

Are so simple you wouldn't understand

But that's my tale, and it's not for sale,

But these three chords will tell you, have they ever failed?

The list of things you can hear them in these strings

I hope you listen well
