forevermore 4

it's different now
you're on the west side of the river
in a big shiny building
that always looks brand new
winter's coming
it's so cold that I shiver
when I think about the changes
from the world we once knew
still, it might be good to stay friends
maybe go have coffee
like we always did before
but I can tell
those times are at an end
and those days are gone
forevermore

so much to do
business is, as they say, really booming
it's supply and demand
and you do what you must do
I'd like to tell you
that my life is improving
but looking at me now
you'd know that it's not true
still, it might be good to stay friends
maybe grab a beer
from that fancy import store
but we won't ask questions
confirming where or when
or if those days are gone 
forevermore

send me a text
let me know where you're living
yeah, time moves on
with new spaces left to fill
I send my best
have fun there in the city
you say we'll see each other 
but I know we never will
still, it might be good to stay friends
we could meet for a bite
at that new place at the shore
sometimes people vanish
like the wind
and you have to move on
old loyalties withdrawn
those days are gone
forevermore
those days are gone
