Peter Hammill - Not For Keith Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In Germany, his days finally caught him;
  • I won't insult his memory with long-distance grief.
  • Tears and wakes weren't his style: not him,
  • not for Keith.
  • He'd have laughed in my face if he saw it get mournful,
  • he'd pull me up short and say "Life carries on"
  • in that gentle way of being cruelly scornful...
  • now he's gone.
  • "I want to see it all, and eat it"
  • was as close to ethos as he came;
  • though he knew he couldn't beat it,
  • he never gave of himself anything less than best
  • in the game.
  • Oh, one of the game...
  • I never did say, I never quite found time:
  • he taught me a lot, and I carry it still.
  • Never thanked him at all for his friendship
  • and now I never will.
  • The diaries we write are those that we crave for,
  • we never put the P.S. at the foot of the final page.
  • He deserved more time, but he never was made for
  • middle age,
  • not for middle age.
  • Not for Keith
