Passed Away - Daniel.mp3

(There'll be peace in the valley for him how we pray I was with Red Foley the night he passed away) We was down in Port Wayne Indiana the night the Lord took Red away And we had to get there a little early cause we had a matinee And when Red first went on stage it seemed that he moved and talked a little slow But of course he went on to do his regular great show So soon the afternoon show was over with and we all went down the street and ate Red said he wasn't very hungry but he came along anyway And we got done eaten and came back to the last show But the thing just would be Red's very last well who's to know And when he went on the stage for his own ten thousandth time We was all back to the curtains there just shootin' the lines But when he sang Peace In The Valley there was such a quiet still I know I'll never forget it and anyone that was there never will Well soon the last show was over with And I went back to the hotel and Red gave me a call I told him to come on over I was just starin' at the four walls So he came over to my room he was just next door there Lit a cigarette and sat down in the chair And he started talkin' bout all the worries that a country music singer has I said old Red I reckon it's not that bad He said yeah you're workin' a lot now and you'll have 'em some day Your dad had 'em and I have 'em I guess it's just meant that way Then he got up and these were the last words he said I'm awful tired now Hank and I've got to go to bed And while I layed there with Red just a few steps away The angels came and took him into the last golden stage (There'll be peace in the valley for him how we pray I was with Red Foley the night he passed away)

Maybe it's all down to the thought of her Maybe it's all down to the loss we learned Knew for a long time, for all it's worth I wanted to run to you What if I'm caught up on it's me you're calling? What if I'm lost now, plus if demons come in? When she kissed me I felt a new freedom or something Well, move on I found a moment to be brave so I let her know And she said: How could I love you back, you who dropped your dreams in the gutter? In my winters, she'll be burning slow Feels like December knows me well 'Cause I loved you Does that mean nothing to you now? I loved you Get me back on homely ground. She said: Oh,I know that love is all about the wind How it can hold me up and kill me in the end Still I loved it Does that mean nothing to you now? Days when we all watched 'till we lost the birds Threw a rose in, 'til it caught the turn Knew it felt right, we were bound to burn I wanted to run to you Maybe I've lost count of the rooms you're tall in Maybe I've lost count of the nighttime all ins So the trees and her were first to know It'll all be good just hold me well 'Cause I loved you Does that mean nothing to you now? I loved you Get me back on homely ground She said: Oh, I know that love is all about the wind How it can hold me up and kill me in the end Still I loved it Does that mean nothing to you now? Wasn't easy to go, I know You shouldn't have no seat in the front row I know, I know Wasn't easy to go, I know And the sun came out, day late though I know, I know Wasn't easy to go, I know He pulled up, flat tyres, ten spokes I know, I know Wasn't easy to go, I know He came all that way just to say hello I know, I know 'Cause I loved you Does that mean nothing to you now? 'Cause I loved you Get me back on homely ground She said: Oh, I know that love is all about the wind How it can hold me up and kill me in the end Still I loved it Does that mean nothing to you now?
