Lyrics
When first I curled my fingers
Around that slender neck
You gave us words to sing along
Not Lennon or mccartney but they made us smile
And a few linger on
We met at the green
We met down by the stream
Sharing hopes and posters from smash hits
I wished I was marine boy
But you already were the keeper of the lists
You were dungeon master and keeper of the lists
You had an older sister
And I think a brother
There was so much you already knew
Armed with our top 5 songs, albums and girls
Put the information to good use
The butt end of a joke when you tried to be too cool
Kids can be such shits
Sorry dungeon master and keeper of the lists
We all grew and we flew the nest of youth, went our separate ways
I was trying to remember when I last saw you
The last I heard was talk of wanton hair
But if I pull a photo of my youth from my mind be sure that you are there
Though many will have come know and love you as a man
I can only miss
Dungeon master and keeper of the lists
