Too Soon
August 1969-October 2003
I'd like to say we were friends. His words, his amazing melodies, the way he haunted many a walk to school certainly made him a constant and admired companion. When I read that he died, that I, and the rest of the world, have been robbed of his genius, I cried like I would at the passing of a friend. I'd like to say we will always be friends. Those words, those melodies will haunt me still, maybe now more than ever.
Elliot, I'll miss you friend.
"if i didn't know the difference living alone'd probably be ok
it wouldn't be lonely
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away
alot of hours to occupy, it was easy when i didn't know you yet
things i'd have to forgetbut i better be quiet now
i'm tired of wasting my breath
carrying on and getting upset
maybe i got a problem, but that's not what i wanted to say
i'd prefer to say nothing.
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away
wish i knew what you're doing
and why you want to do it this way, so i can't go the distance
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away"
