lyrics

It's been a year since I've been here to see you,
And sixteen since I've seen your face.
And oh, when I get there to be with you,
I swear I won't miss this place.

Well it was summer the day that you left us,
The day after the 4th of July.
And ever since then it's been winter and snow,
And I know, yeah, I'm sure I know why.

Cause a catastrophe took you away from me,
And things will never be the same.
And this Ohio summer has never been so cold in my life.

I still remember the last time I saw you,
A frame frozen in mind.
And the note that I wrote you,
I left it at home.
I couldn't get it; I didn't have time.
I didn't have time to look back on the memories,
That we could have had by now.
And year after year I wonder why I'm still here,
While you're up somewhere in the clouds.
Where are you now?

Cause a catastrophe took you away from me,
And things will never be the same.
And this Ohio summer has never been so cold in my life.
And though the seasons change and all our memories fade,
One thing will never go away.
The words on your gravestone say all the things I'm trying to say.

Here lies a brother and friend.
I know I will see you again.

Cause a catastrophe took you away from me,
And things will never be the same.
And this Ohio summer has never been so cold in my life.
And though the seasons change and all our memories fade,
One thing will never go away.
The words on your gravestone say all the things I'm trying to say.
