about

There are people in my past for whom I should have been a better friend. One of them in particular, and the day I wrote this song, I heard of his passing.
So the least I could do was spend the time to relive our times together in my head, in my heart, and write him a song.

lyrics

HEAVEN WALK

G Bm
They threw the dirt on the pine box
C
And lowered him down in the ground
G
They found him dead out on the docks
D
They think he may have drowned

There’s no name on the headstone
Just a Rest In Peace.
He wasn’t noticed, loved or known
A discarded chess piece.
C G
But they say he was a good man
Em
They say he just didn’t talk
D
Always lent a helping hand
G
Now he’s gone on his Heaven Walk

He just appeared in town one day
And sort of stuck around
Where he was from he wouldn’t say
And never made another sound

He smiled a lot, with his eyes
And made you feel better
Wasn’t quite one of the guys
They thought he’d explain, later

CHORUS

There’s no name on the headstone
Just a Rest in Peace
He had no gold of his own
There won’t be a press release

He won’t be remembered tomorrow
No, he won’t be missed
His passing’s no big blow
He’ll disappear like the mist.

But they say he was a good man
They say he just didn’t talk
Always lent a helping hand
Now he’s gone on his Heaven Walk

Now he’s gone on his Heaven Walk
