Subject: BS: wrote this for a friend
Well...I wrote this for a friend...who's brother was killed in Bali...and well i was wondering what you all thought before i sent it to her...

Memories Stay (title not in stone as yet)
(tune: Water is Wide)

There is a candle it burns right well
Shining bright in my heart it dwells
But the wind it came strong and stout
And blew that bright burning candle out

Oh, he was staying there in Bali Town
When the bombs blew the hotel down
And the blast shook me to the bone
For now he'll never be coming home

I see him coming through the door
I hear his steps stomp across the floor
I hear his voice whisper soft and clear
As my fingers feel my hot wet tears

In the window a candle burns bright
Calling him home in the dark night
The pain it fades as the years go by
But the memories stay in my heart nearby

Thanks...
