Goodbye Katya

The shadow of death hangs over us all And you never know when the gavel will fall Life's too short for constant drama Unnecessarily calling alarm to The brevity of existence against The gravity of life's insistence That we all take part in the show Before we're called So goodbye Katya My Polish princess I will never forget you You'll be always in my heart Separated by years and miles A memory surfaces once in a while Cos life is just ubiquitous With people drifting away from us And no one gets to really say Who goes and who gets to stay In our every growing list Of those we've known So goodbye Katya My Polish princess I will never forget you You'll be always in my heart All the days seem the same now A running joke at our expense Get busy dying Don't lose out So goodbye Katya My Polish princess I will never forget you You'll be always in my heart
