Absent Friends - Saxon

You went in the morning

We didn’t say goodbye

The friends that you left here

Wonder why

I wish I could see you

Just for a day

Tell you we miss you

And ask you to stay

To absent friends (*)

This one’s for you

You went without warning

We didn’t even know

Just like the good ones

It was your turn to go

When we’re together

You stand at our side

We’ll raise our glasses

And toast you tonight
