	Best friends day, well, it came and went
	And not without incident
	On the hill they’re all moving in
	But I don’t care much
	I’m dodging branches from Maple trees
	They’ve stolen heavy and steady sleep
	They seized every city street
	With tuition bought full dirt
	And I sat at the river with Ronnie
	Watching the Cormorants
	And the Osprey diving for their prey
	He asked about old friends
	I said, I ain’t seen none of them
	He’s said, they’re all transient, man
	And their footprints they washed away
	Still I walk this town
	Hoping to get lost some how
	It seems by now though I’ve smoothed a path in every side walk
	It’s all painted black and gold
	Black tar where once stood homes
	Gold in the hand of each student based franchise
	And I sat at the river with Ronnie
	Watching the Cormorants
	And the Osprey diving for their prey
	He asked about old friends
	I said, I ain’t seen none of them
	He said, how’d you get here, man?
	And why’d you stay?
	Come on brother, let’s make a list
	Of all those gone that we still miss
	Let’s make a list of what they believed
	And we still do
	Like living first and working last
	And beating the day before it’s past
	Like what’s mine is yours, man
	And what’s yours is mine
	I think I’ll stay here getting older
	And angrier
	And getting louder with each passing day
	And think about old friends
	And all that I have learned from them
	They may have moved on, man
	But we’ll all be gone someday
