Oh, dear friend tell me where have you gone?
For I'm raising a glass to you tonight
And I look back on the days when we raised our voice in laughter
And sweetly slept to the songs we sing
Oh, dear friend tell me where have you gone?
For I'm raising my sword and shall not yield
For I fight in your name and I shall have no shame
If for you I shed my blood upon this field
Oh, dear friend tell me where have you gone?
For I'm raising a glass to you tonight
And I look back on the days when we raised our voice in laughter
And sweetly slept to the songs we sing
Oh, dear friend tell me where have you gone?
For I fear that my soul has lost its way
And we all need your calm in the darkness of storms
And I wish that you were by our side today
Oh, dear friend tell me where have you gone?
For I'm raising a glass to you tonight
And I look back on the days when we raised our voice in laughter
And sweetly slept to the songs we sing
We sweetly slept to the songs we sing
And now you sweetly sleep to the songs we sing
