	An outcry,
	To lost dreams and sense of wonder
	To the streets
	That raised him.
	Say,  "Goodbye" to the hope for the home he'd been
	Holding.
	Say, "Goodbye" and "Be gone" and "Be great."
	To the Friends who left when they still could,
	For the ones who chose to
	Stay to waste away unplaced,
	Alone, and pray
	To get out,
	To grow old,
	To grow strong and
	Leave this city, so
	Familiar all it's places,
	All these memories turn each day more to
	Gray,  More they space out till it's once a year we'll catch up,
	Maybe less, or
	Else just daydreams while he's working
	Late Thinks only of those friends and when they left.  "Are we Still friends at all, my friends?"
	Can I leave?
	Rewind and find a younger man,
	All hopes
	And goals and dreams alight and
	Bright with friendship at the
	Crossroads in the night.  "Now make a choice," the city said.
	We were barely twenty then, but
	While I swore it my
	Allegiance
	They chose leaving, all my friends.
	And Now it's
	Letters, maybe phone calls, that
	Come less and less each year.
	All addressed with wives and children
	To the fool who chose to
	Stay here.
	And it hurts me to know
	I'm alone now,
	And it's Worse when
	I know that
	I chose it.
	Don't make the same mistake as
	Me,  Don't make the same mistake.
	And now my friends have all left.
	Or it's been me gone all along.
	I guess We all part one day and drop like leaves into the breeze.
	And ain't it
	Wild? Ain't it bitter? (Didn't it carry you from me?)
	But it's the coping
	With my fear that keeps me
	Here See, once it's gone you can't retrieve it (Do I regret you? Can I forget you?)
	I still believe
	I might get left here.
	I might turn 63 still sweeping up the gutters in the street or weeding
	Concrete.
	Wait and see.
	We'll wait and see.
	Or, rather,
	I will. Only me.
	Only me.   "Don't make the same mistake as me. Say 'Goodbye' and 'Be gone' and 'Be great' and be done and be free."

	An outcry,
	To lost dreams and sense of wonder
	To the streets
	That raised him.
	Say,  " Goodbye" to the hope for the home he' d been
	Holding.
	Say, " Goodbye" and " Be gone" and " Be great."
	To the Friends who left when they still could,
	For the ones who chose to
