Fly On


You always loved that long-board of yours, you said that while on it you felt you were flying How could you know that a drunk driver would be the end of such flight ? It was dark- it was at night Why he didn't have the courage to call I don't know but the Doctor did fall Justice will never be served We won't get you back - this I have learned It makes me feel mad whenever I see his name He doesn't deserve to keep his practice or to go to games He wasn't convicted of the crime that he did He took away life - he took away a kid Oh Alix, if I could I would change the time Then I would make you go a different way That way - that man wouldn't have killed you and drove away However I keep in mind you died doing what you loved best So my friend - fly on forever you have passed the test You leave behind so many people of love But I know it's for a reason - so fly on little dove Keep the place rocking Never have matching stockings Fly on Alix, you deserve it
