lyrics

The tears are settled now, they're all just ripples in your wake
Your loss has been the cause of so much pain
There's a clear blue sky you're missing, and I’m missing you the same
But not a second that we're missing is in vain

You're too good for this old town, and I told you not to stay
My words are coming back on me today
If there's purpose in this world, I guess you finally found your place
Well it's all for the good of the game

You're more than just the music to my ears
You're more than all those songs I’ll never hear
Resting with the best of them, with all who have been
You are my friend, you are my friend

Since the clock is still a ticking, I’ll keep sticking to what you say
I know all good things must someday meet their fate
If it's better to burn out than to ever fade away
I guess you know you got your 60 of fame

Maybe you are crazy but your life is not a waste
We'll move along, I sing this song now in your name
The cards' still on the table, I’m still stepping up to play
‘Cause it's all for the good of the game

You're more than just the music to my ears
You're more than all those songs I’ll never hear
Resting with the best of them, with all who have been
You are my friend, you are my friend

From the taverns to the docks, there's a big old empty space
No one here could ever take your place
But I’ll play a song without you now on this old empty stage
It's all for the good of the game

You're more than just the music to my ears
You're more than all those songs I’ll never hear
Resting with the best of them, with all who have been
You are my friend, you are my friend
