WHERE HAVE ALL MY FRIENDS GONE?
©Trev Teasdel Coventry December 1968
The soft sludgy snow’s on the ground all around
And gloomy thoughts come to mind.
I’m in solitude I find.
I’m in the land where the sun has never shone.
Won’t you tell me – Where have all my friends gone?
Month after month, year after year,
I am a man of constant fear.
So I’ve turned to drink and I don’t have to think
About the world and all the sadness it presents.
I’m in a land where the sun has never shone
Won’t you tell me –Where have all my friends gone?
Back in my youth
I was so fancy free and brave
Enjoyed myself
Enjoyed my health.
Once I was married, for several years
We lived through the laughter and the tears.
Now we’re apart, I’m beginning to start
To wish I hadn’t been, so cruel and mean.
I’m in a land where the sun has never shone
Won’t you tell me, Where have all my friends gone?
Should I always have to hide
Should I commit suicide
T’would do no good so they say.
But would they care if I did one day?
A life of desperation
I’m in a land where the sun has never shone,
Won’t you tell me, Where have all my friends gone?
