me mate snakey

We came together when we were young
Two mates just having fun
We drank we smoked we surfed we ate
We worked together we were always late

Your family were so kind to me
Like you, proud of their aborignality
Two gorgeous sisters,a brother mum an dad
When i turned up they seemed to be glad

You were funny fit an had a sense of charm
A journeyman, explorer,an mostly calm
The ocean was your playground for all to see
How graceful you were when you were free

The rythmn that beat from your soul
Connected with me an filled the hole
Together we created musical madness
The days we drove in were full of gladness

I remember the day you left this place
We passed each other on limited space
You said to me ,tell miss i wont be in today
The ocean is up an wants me to play

I said thats cool enjoy your self
Just watch out for that shallow shelf
Been out there early since dawn
Its heavy be alert dont be forlorn

The last time i saw you was in the ambulance
You lay there not moving as if in a trance
I didnt know how what when or where
All i knew is i didnt care

Its been a long time since you've been gone
The memories are fresh an always strong
A smile lights up on my face
When i think of you an your grace
