Scotty Lad, you’re hair of white
In those eyes shined the brightest light
The only thing I really knew
Was you loved me just like I loved you
So go on, fly so high
Go now, you know it’s time
This life has set you free
But you will live in me
Funny how the wind turns cold
One day you’re young and the next you’re old
I can’t get used to mortality
When it takes you from me
So go on, fly so high
Go now, you know it’s time
This life has set you free
But you will live in me
Ooooo standing in the pourin’ rain
Ohhhh just like it was yesterday
Many years have slipped on by
Friends like you aren’t supposed to die
So I close my eyes and dream of when
We meet again
So go on, fly so high
Go now, you know it’s time
This life has set you free
But you will live in me
