Lyrics:

Some roads that you take
Some bonds we'll choose to break
I swore I'd no longer be
The pallbearer

But I carried you to bed
So you could rest your head
You were taking off a load
Heavy drinking

The world it carries on
Your memories in song
And your pictures on my wall
Are not forgotten

There was hymns that came from mouths
That turned crosses upside down
But it came through their teeth
With great ease

And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about

But you, you carry on
In pictures and in songs
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend

Some stories break your heart
And some with such applaud
Buried deep inside
Where it's okay to cry

Some boys won't shed a tear
Oh, but a tale like this here
It can break me down and get me
Where it hurts the most

And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about

But you, you carry on
In pictures and in songs
And the unmade be you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend

But you, carry on
In pictures and in songs
And the unmade be you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time

Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
