about

Thanks: In the thick of the lock down I started to notice that there was an increase of emails and texts from people I hadn’t heard from in years—I guess a lot of unfinished business probably got settled that way for a lot of people then. I wrote this one just in case I won the jackpot. The first two verses are for my wife, the rest for the condition.

lyrics

Words and Music: Cornelius Eady

If we don’t make it out of this one,
If the clouds burst and sweeps us away
If the game gets called on count of darkness
And the clocks run down today

If it’s high noon at the honeymoon
If sooner or later is here
In case it was missed between our kiss
Or said out of shout of your ears

Thank you, baby
Thank you friend
Some things come and go
Some things never end

It’s the bottom of the ninth
And two men out,
The sharks are circling the raft,
Me and you, we had a good ol’ time
We put some pins on the map

So if the Devil is calling the tune
And world is learning the dance,
A tip to the hand that pulled me along
When the odds weren’t even a chance

Thank you baby
Thank you, friend
Some things come and go
Some things never end

The cold flames that still hold a spark
The errors and regrets
The pal that grew up away from your eyes,
The grown up you never met.

The restless souls you could not hold
But left a spark in you,
The wonder ifs, and Auld Lang Syne
Time to get a message through:
Thank you baby,
Thank you, friend
Some things come and go
Some things never end

The phone rings, the text bell dings
It’s old so-and so
You haven’t seen hide nor hair
For 30 years
They just have to let you know.

A long-distance toast before we’re a ghost
Before things turn severe
If you die before they wake
They just have to make it clear:

Thank you, baby,
Thank you, friend
Some things come and go
Some things never end.
