Alex |
| Alex was my first best friend |
| «Gonna see the world,» is what he always said |
| And I begged him, «Take me with you» |
| Alex played guitar and I sang |
| We were gonna be in a rock 'n roll band |
| Dreaming was the only way out |
| Small town and alcohol |
| Our parents sold their goddam souls |
| And we were so angry |
| A single tear from his blue eye |
| As he looked at me and he said goodbye |
| I promised I would never forget |
| Alex said to his dad, |
| «If you ever lay your hands on my mom again, |
| I swear I will kill you, man» |
| Alex came home through the kitchen door |
| Found his mom lying on the floor |
| Then he grabbed that knife |
| His lawyer claimed self-defense |
| But Alex never showed any signs of regret |
| So the judge he said «life» |
| A single tear from his blue eye |
| As he looked at me and he said goodbye |
| I promised I would never forget |
| How we used to ride our bikes down to the lake |
| Write songs about the love we’d make |
| Watch the fire burn deep against the cold |
| We promised right then to never grow old |
| The way the starlight how it hit the waves |
| Just like diamonds shining in a miner’s cave |
| We danced naked with no regrets |
| I promised I would never forget |
