Bill Beare - Mates Lyrics

Mates
So now you've gone
You've said goodbye to everyone
The white line stretches on and on
And those behind will wait a long time till you return
You've made the break
And all whose hopes go with you take
A sadder moment to relate
Of times so close and how some mates can go and still remain
You know what I'm sayin'
Mates will be mates till the end

Broken promises lie everywhere
Some will say they care
But they're never their when you call
For some, such honesty's too much to bear
But we know we share something old and something rare
That follows on and on and on and

On you go
The white line stretches down the road
And 'Goodbye' catches in my throat
And God who watches over knows I'll miss you my friend
Go on, you go
But as friends we'll never be alone
Our hearts will be each other's homes
And thoughts and memories will always keep us the same
You know what I'm sayin'
Mates will be mates. Good onya mate
Mates will be mates till the end
