BARNS COURTNEY
"Goodbye John Smith"
(Thomas Clarke / Barnaby Courtney)

Hold your head up high
You were born too old and are afraid to die
'Cause the light is fading out of your eyes
I'll give it all, I'll give it all

Come on feet don't fail me now
'Cause I'll fall too hard if I hit the ground
And these worn out souls are all broken now
I'll give it all, I'll give it all

[Chorus:]
Mmmm
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
That I'm falling apart
Mmmm
If I don't ever see you again, oh
Where do I start

I'll miss it all
I'll miss it all
I'll miss it all

Battle deep into the night
'Til you leave the center, the shore behind
And the great white peaks of new islands rise
You'll see it all, you'll see it all

And all these memories come to pass
In a 1965 photograph
And I'll never know how you made me laugh
I'll tell them all, I'll tell them all

[Chorus:]
Mmmm
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
That I'm falling apart
Mmmm
If I don't see you ever again, oh
Where do I start

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey, come on stay

[Chorus:]
Ooh
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
That I'm falling apart
Ooh
If I don't see you ever again
I'll be lost in the dark
