Saturday Video

For the Canadian Friends I met this past week.

Said you’d found a way to end it peacefully
I remember finding shoes near the lake under a tree
And I’m sittin’ on the shore
I thought I saw your charm float by

It doesn’t matter now
‘Cause all you wanted to do was die, yeah
If only you’d stuck around
I never would have made a sound

But now you’re on the ocean floor
And I’ve opened a brand new door, brand new door

Swimming out to sea
Trying to find something else
While I’m skipping stones
And I’m listening to the shells

And I won’t forget you
If someone else comes along
I found the words you wrote
But I would not dare to quote

My friends, the lines you amend
Like, “What’s so bad about dying anyway”
Swimming out to sea
Trying to find something else

While I’m skipping stones
And I’m listening to the shells
And I won’t forget you
If someone else comes along

You’ll always come to mind
Whenever I hear that song, yeah
The one about photographs
Sung by Ringo Starr

Especially in the chorus part
You always said, “Now don’t you start”
Don’t you start, yeah, yeah
Don’t you start, don’t you start
