You Went Ahead
by Bob Bennett

Album: Joy Deep as Sorrow

You went ahead
It does not seem fair
I'm still here ' and you are there
I'm one of many in this long line
Of those who love you
And are left behind
Sadness, for now is all I can see
So I cry for you
But, my good friend
It's mostly for me

You went ahead
You just had to look
Skipped all those pages
To the end of the book
You get to go, I have to stay
In all this uncertainty
Making my way
And deep in the night time
When I lay my head down
I'm grateful and angry at a world
That still turns
Though you're not around

It's not polite to cut in line
But I can let it go this time
The harder thing I have to do
Is to say goodbye
And not let go of you

'Coz you went ahead of me
You went ahead
