He was a very special warm and gentle person
Who put music in the world and spoke in rhyme
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
'cause all it would've taken was some time
You know he always seems to be there when I stumble
And when mountains got too steep for me to climb
And tears me up to think I neve touched him
'cause all it would've taken was some time
Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
moving way too fast or much too slow
I'm getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no no nowhere
Not getting into someone I should not
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
And I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothing
And all it would've taken was some time
Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
moving way too fast or much too slow
I'm getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no no nowhere
Not getting into someone I should not
Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
moving way too fast or much too slow
I'm getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no no nowhere
Not getting into someone I should not
I'm getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no no nowhere
I'm getting up, getting high, getting down, ....
