So I wrote this back on the fourth. The news about Robbie affected me much more than it probably should have considering our relatively minor interaction here on the site. I wrote this pretty quickly then let it sit all week. Today I was able to do a guitar/vox live in the studio version. While I'd like to do a big production and "fix it up right" I think that a simple goodbye means more right now. Thanks for letting me share.

I heard the news
Just yesterday
And I don't know
Just what to say
I'm so sorry
Our chance is gone
To write together
To sing a new song

I wish I'd got to know the man behind the mask
Who knows what stories we'd tell?
I wish I'd got to know the man behind the mask
Before we bid him farewell
Before we bid him farewell

I pick up the pen
Begin to write
The words won't come
They don't seem right
I'm so sorry
Our chance is gone
To write together
To sing a new song

I wish I'd got to know the man behind the mask
Who knows what stories we'd tell?
I wish I'd got to know the man behind the mask
Before we bid him farewell
Before we bid him farewell

Nice, it's a difficult thing a guitar and a voice.
