song for kevin

[Oldrottenhead]

a couple of days ago Damian sent me a tune to add lyrics to, not had a lot of time. however a colleague at work (Stephen) had asked me to put a lyric of his to music. the lyric was dedicated to his friend Kevin how recently passed away at a very young age. I thought Stephen's lyric worked better than anything i could come up with and it went well with the feel of damian's music.
Both Kevin and Stephen where big fans of oasis, as is expressed in a line borrowed from them.

oh my friend it's been so long
it's been a long been a long long time
seems an age without a laugh without a joke
you couldn't explain any of the wrongs
instead you found the answers in all our favourite songs
as someone once said
in my heart you have grown and that's where you belong
you thought you had enough
everyday and everything not nearly good enough
strong as a group cheering on our team
high as a kite on dragonsoup
you where amazing always told me i was too
to have known you and to have these memories fills my heart
adieu for now my friend sleep well
balloch brigada from beginning to end
and now you face the sun you cast no shadow
i will remember my beloved friend
au revior Kevin Haddow
