The Fabric (For Richard)

(album: The Spectrum - 2017)

What is this feeling? It's strange to me
Hard to believe it, that you're no longer here
To guide and teach me
I thought there'd always be more time

For understanding to overcome
Our circumstances and make time for all the things
We took for granted
Before we lost you to the skies

But in the long run, you'll be alright
This is one front, in space and time
Wherever you go, feel peace my friend
'Cause you're loved everlasting
And you'll live on in the fabric

Within the threads of our lives
Woven your magic, through your absence you will guide
Still no less tragic we have to say goodbye
And still we grieve, and still we cry

But in the long run, we'll be alright
This is just one test, we have to try
And when it's all done, we'll meet again
And we'll be one in the fabric
Yeah, we'll live on in the fabric

How do I begin to say thank you for all that you've done for me, for me?
Now we love harder because of you
You're part of everything we do, in the fabric
Forever part of the fabric
Forever part of the fabric
Forever part of the fabric
You are, you are forever part of the fabric
You are, you are forever part of the fabric
You are, you are forever part of the fabric
