about

Sung this composition at a memorial service for my good friend and compadre, Frank Garcia. Thought it was an appropriate way to end this CD that was dedicated to Frank, and another good friend lost that year, Karen "Selene" Coen. This one is a studio recording done in Tin Can Studios (otherwise known as my garage).

lyrics

Elegy
by John Beccia

Close those eyes
See the way we feel about him
When someone dies
So hard to learn to live without them
Do these tears return from feeling lonely as can be
Or do I cry........................... because I miss your company?

Look around
There’s so much more we’ll never know
Homeward bound
But now we’re living on our own
Do these tears return from seeing cruel reality
Or do I cry............................ because I miss your company?

Autumn’s leaves
They dry up to an empty brown
Earth receives
The crumbled pieces on the ground
Do these tears return revealing our mortality
Or do I cry............................ because I miss your company?
