I wonder where you got to
Since you and I were friends
The earth it kept on turning
No time to make amends
And sometimes life will kill you
With a killer's callous hand
I don't think I will ever understand

We wandered through the city
We were both the worse for wear
You wore a leather jacket
And I had grown my hair
Well you played some Leonard Cohen
There were stories of the street
But I just ended up with itchy feet

I took off across the sea
I'm looking for a certain tree
Where gurus gave a name to me
And showed me how to be
And you were there with smiling face
Standing in that sacred place
I caught a glimpse of inner space
In all its mystery

We walked along the river bank
Our silent steps in tune
You sometimes spoke of Sweden
In the shady afternoon
Well you loved that holy river
With a lover's heart and soul
You said she brought you closer to your goal

One day we climbed a mountain
To the temple of the brave
We chanced upon a holy man
Who brought us to his cave
And temple bells were ringing
In the valley far below
And everything around us seemed to glow

And I'll always remember you
I marveled at the things you knew
The truth you always cut into
The happiness we shared

The smiling moon was overhead
The tears of joy had all been shed
There were no words we left unsaid
That left us unprepared

And I yearn for those forgotten days
The love within your gentle gaze
The light of knowledge all ablaze
And feeling we were free

And if I pass this way again
I'll keep an eye out now and then
I call your name and wonder when
You'll come back to me
