10 Dec 02 - 02:40 PM (#844759) Subject: Lyr Req: Help with a Vin Garbutt song. From: GUEST,Jim I started a thread earlier today (click here) because I thought that the song I was after was called 'When the Tide Turns.' Spot kindly posted the words to that, but it turns out that that isn't the one. The song I'm after is a sad lament on the end of a relationship. The only bits that I can half remember are something along the lines of: "Time takes the pain away, time heals wounds, they say. I wonder why it never happened to me" Any ideas? And sorry for the red herring earlier. Jim |

10 Dec 02 - 03:01 PM (#844772) Subject: Lyr Add: ABSENT FRIENDS (Keith Hancock) From: Herga Kitty It's a Keith Hancock song and it's called "Absent Friends" - I understand that Keith wrote it after his father died. I learnt the words from Vin's recording, so may not have got them all right..... ABSENT FRIENDS - Keith Hancock I always found when you were around You'd help me through sorrow, you'd ease all my fears For you always had time for troubles of mine A shoulder to cry on, a listening ear Chorus: Time heals wounds they say Time takes the pain away I wonder why it never happened for me It's years since you went away I miss you night and day Why you had to go is a mystery to me The things that you'd do, the pictures of you Are printed for life on the back of my mind You were always so sure, your ways were so pure Through faults and the bad times a lover stayed blind What seemed important then becomes trivial when Fate deals the card that forces your hand And the places we've been, together we've seen No more in the future, no more in the plan It's all very strange, but when you went I changed It just seemed to happen as day turned to day And I don't understand, is it part of a plan Can one person grow as another one fades |

CHORUS:
It's all very strange. when you left I changed.
Small things you do weave pictures of you.
I always found when you where around,
Is this the one? |

I've never heard of Keith Hancock, so some details on his version would be appreciated too. Many thanks to you all. Jim |

11 Dec 02 - 01:34 PM (#845307) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Help with a Vin Garbutt song. From: GUEST,Steve Excellent song. I, like Kitty, first heard it from Vin, but since then have sveral times heard Keith Hancock sing it, and his is for me without doubt the definitive version. I prefer the order of the verses in Keith's version, too. It almost seems pedantic to mention this, but I'm sure he said he'd written it following the death of his brother, not his father. |

Hi, I've seen the lyrics to this song in several places, and they always include: "I wonder why it never happened for me." - The singer wonders why for him time does not heal wounds. But most people I heard sing the song sing; " I wonder why: It never happened for me." - The singer wonders why people say that time heals wounds (as for him it never happened). Does anyone have sources to confirm either? Lyrics that came with the original, Keith Hancock's own singing, that sort of thing? Bye, Mysha |

So far as I can recall he didn't put a pause between the phrases and I've always put your first interpretation on the line (although the second is also a perfectly valid reading of it, imo) |

23 Oct 12 - 01:48 PM (#3424889) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Absent Friends (Keith Hancock) From: Arkie Glad for the success in finding the right song. I would have suggested "Special Absent Friends" which though different is along similar lines but addressed to many who have gone on before. I have heard the song only by Speed Limit, a country duo from the British Isles, until today when searching youtube for a link to post here. Knowing nothing about the origins of the song I accepted the Speed Limit song as a tribute to those known and loved from earlier times. Some of the youtube videos seemed to have political overtones. Special Absent Friends Our Special Absent Friends The time has come to say good night For every road must end To the ones who care and are always there Our very special friends Lets say good night to those we love And maybe shed a tear But before we close Lets think of those We love who cant be here Lets raise our hands (a glass) to absent friends For every road must end You'll always be there in our hearts Our special absent friends And when its time for us to go And our long journey ends You'll never be alone you see You'll be with absent friends Lets raise our hands (a glass) to absent friends For every road must end You'll always be there in our hearts Our special absent friends. |
