Some roads that you take Some bonds we'll choose to break And I swore I'd no longer be the pallbearer But I carry you to bed So you could rest your head You were taking off a load of heavy drinkin' The world it carries on in your memories and songs And your pictures on my wall, are not forgotten There was hymns that came from mouths That turned crosses upside down And they came through their teeth with great ease And all are bobbing heads in sync And all have got a lot on their minds to think about But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs And the unmade bed you slept in Where I laid you down to rest one last time Goodbye, dear friend Goodbye, dear friend Some stories break your heart And some with such applaud It is buried deep inside, where it's ok to cry Some boy's won't shed a tear Oh, but I tell it like this here You know it brings me down to places where it hurts the most And all are bobbing heads in sync And all have got a lot on their minds to think about But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs And the unmade bed you slept in Where I laid you down to rest one last time Goodbye, dear friend Goodbye, dear friend But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs And the unmade bed you slept in Where I laid you down to rest one last time Goodbye, dear friend Goodbye, dear friend Songwriters: John Joseph Mccauley Iii
You're a vessel, Frank. These songs may be foreign at first, songs for a younger generation, but you're carrying the fire. The cannon may be novel, but the sentiments are eternal. Thank you for these videos. I hope you have love in your life.
This is easily my favorite Deer Tick song... it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I think ANYONE that has lost someone would understand. For me? I lost my Mom a few years ago... still something that pains me deeply. She was my entire world... I miss her terribly. Thank you for this cover, Sir.... It's truly beautiful.
So beautiful, this moved me to tears. That song has a special place in my heart, this cover made me feel the way I did when I heard the original for the first time. Thank you ❤️
Thanks ,I've listened to it and it is good but not sure if it would be right coming from an old man ,my grandson listens to that and he might not talk to me anymore if i covered it but .,you never know.
Reminds me of Johnny Cash too sad to sing. Rest in Peace my family. My family are my friends. Lots gone. All we can do is make sure why we still have breath, we make it worth it.
Literally what I would think the perfect mesh between roger waters, bob dylan and Johnny cash would sound like. This should be a bonus track on The Final Cut.
Just listened to it ,i like it i will start to learn it now ,it won't sound country but you know that ,hopefully it will be my next post .just for you.
Dear Frank. I also left a message during another video where you sing snuff-slipknot. Maybe there's a chance I can use your voice for my video? I was very touched by your voice inside and your playing on the guitar.
This song is close to my heart. Thanks for adding your soul to this version. Its rare that something during a busy day is so moving it causes you to pause and feel and see life with an all encompassing perspective. Thanks for that.
Thanks Joe ,i don't know why i'm just playing stuff as best i can but it's never great ,well not to me anyway ,it's nice to have this many subs but as you may no i don't monetise my channel so i get nothing out of this except my own pleasure and hopefully make someone else feel good as well.
Heard 30 seconds of this and I feel like all the people who I’ve lost are singing to me thank you so much big man means a lot in a world where I feel so alone
Men soy un Colombiano muy sorprendido de su talento, Sos un crack, también tocó jamás he conseguido un sonido tan limpio y bien ejecutado como vos lo haces.
I'm glad I found you..you're covers and original music are absolutely amazing..I listened to this song alot after my bestfriend died 6 months ago 6-20-2020 rip Johnny Lee 🖤 keep pumping out music the world needs musicians like you.
Some roads that you take
Some bonds we'll choose to break
And I swore I'd no longer be the pallbearer
But I carry you to bed
So you could rest your head
You were taking off a load of heavy drinkin'
The world it carries on in your memories and songs
And your pictures on my wall, are not forgotten
There was hymns that came from mouths
That turned crosses upside down
And they came through their teeth with great ease
And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
Some stories break your heart
And some with such applaud
It is buried deep inside, where it's ok to cry
Some boy's won't shed a tear
Oh, but I tell it like this here
You know it brings me down to places where it hurts the most
And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
But you, you carry on, in pictures and in songs
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
