Paul Kelly - Livin' On lyrics

[Intro: Pez] Yeah, there I was [Verse 1: Pez] Staring out the window in the car, I Half cried watching all the cars as they pa**ed by In my head I was just having such a hard time Trying to comprehend it, saw you for the last time, Grandma And as mum turned around and gazed at me I could see the pain in her eyes but she Kept telling me it's alright, it's alright It'll be all okay So I tried to shake it off and get my mind prepared Having visions, reminiscing on the time we shared I remember walking in and seeing you just lying there Tryed to stare down and hide the fact that I was scared I made a final prayer, it was no use Because we both knew this was something that we'd have to go through I just never thought that it would be so soon sh**, I mean I'm only just getting to know you [Hook 1: Paul Kelly] We said goodbye, tears in our eyes [?] what I didn't know why [Verse 2: Pez] It's like I felt a part of me that opened up For that moment that we spoke and I closed it shut And I know, it's part of growing up But I was only young, so the load was tough to overcome Cos things have changed, I miss the way You always seem to transport me to this blissful place Where we drift away And all the worries in the world would just dissapate So, when I reach my final resting place I don't know if you'll be there to open heaven's gate Or my ghost will just float off into empty space Whatever end awaits, I hope I see my friend again Until then, in my mind the time we shared just never fades I still remember it like it was yesterday Although I was devastated when you went away In my memory, you'll forever be there to stay [Hook 2: Paul Kelly] We said goodbye, tears in our eyes [?] what I didn't know why You're livin' on You're livin' on, in my mind (yeah, you're still right here) You're livin' on You're livin' on, in my mind [Bridge: Paul Kelly] When I'm broken and I need to mend I talk it over with my old friend She don't say much, not too much at all But I feel better every time we talk When I'm happy, skippin' on it She's right with me, she's always there I feel her smile, then she's gone But not for long, she keeps living on [Hook 3: Paul Kelly] Never goodbye, you're still on my mind I'm walking through life, you're walking behind Never goodbye, you're still on my mind (yeah, you're still right here) I'm walking through life, you're walking behind (yeah) You're livin' on You're livin' on in my mind (yeah, you're still right here) You're livin' on You're livin' on in my mind [Outro: Paul Kelly] You're livin' on You're livin' on through time
