Compagnon De Voyage

Today,
I came to sit beside the ocean shore,
And I watched the tide come in
Like so many times before.
It was your birthday yesterday
But you weren't here,
So I celebrated with a bottle of whiskey
And a tear...

I thought I smelled your perfume
Within the summer air;
But when I called out your name,
You weren't there....

I could hear baby birds in their nests
And their song of peace and love;
And for a brief moment I thought I heard you
From somewhere up above...

Things have gotten better,
And they say that's a start;
But I still miss my best friend
And the way you touched my heart.
