"Derek's Song" lyrics

It's not the end, for you, my friend
It's only time to shed your skin
I was afraid of this for you
But I know you're there and still complete

And sometimes we have to go
But I'll visit you in the memories
Of simpler times before life started grinding us down
But I know that you're shining somewhere
While I'm here singing your melody
Your smile will remain in my mind as something I hold

But it's not the end, for you my friend
It's only time to shed your skin
I was afraid of this for you
But I know you're there and still complete

And sometimes we have to go
But I'll visit you in the memories
Of simpler times before life started grinding us down
But I know you're shining somewhere
While I'm here singing your melody
Your smile will remain in my mind as something I hold

It's not the end for you my friend
