Black September Lyrics - Singles - Bound For Glory

So many things race through my head 

Of the perils, the dreams of the life you led 

I've so many memories of you, my friend 

You're in my thoughts with every tear I cry 

Only the good die young is the truth 

The sorrow of those that loved you is the proof 

How could you ever leave so soon? 

I keep asking why 

I think of the good times we shared 

The laughing, the joking without a care 

I never knew the burdens you beared 

I never had the chance to say goodbye 

I really wish I knew your pain 

I'd have done anything to take it away 

There were so many things I wanted to say 

There's so many questions, I keep asking why 

So many fallen, so many lost 

Grips my heart like a September frost 

How many more brothers must we render? 

Come the turning of black September 

You're in my heart day and night 

You were a shooting star shining bright 

I never thought you'd fade away 

But all good things must come to an end 

I have to close the book on this tragedy 

I feel like I've lost a part of me 

Memories of you is all I've got left 

I know one day we'll meet again 

I know you're off to a better place 

Soaring like an eagle with freedom and grace 

The wind to your back, the world is yours 

You are finally free 

You are always a part of the family 

I need your spirit to look over me 

As the wheels of time keep on turning 

I'll never lose the memories of you, my friend 

So many fallen, so many lost 

Grips my heart like a September frost 

How many more brothers must we render? 

Come the turning of black September
