I
One more my friend, one more
ice cold beer golden filled,
till I alone face my mortal end
and by its grim toll killed.
Where haunts a ghost of mine
whom I once much owed...
one more my friend, one more,
just one more for the road
II
One more my friend, one more
boding self-evident truth,
but fear not a day of reckoning
nor an everlasting reproof.
Behold the virgin and the whore,
alas both have sins to bear…
one more my friend, one more
fork in a road to nowhere
III
One more my friend, one more
lost courage for me to find,
to forgive a troubled weary soul
and rest with peace of mind.
Let church bells ring for brides
and infants in holy baptism...
one more my friend, one more
old demon for my exorcism
IV
Drink up my friend, drink up
and seek a blessing now,
seek a true salvation and pray
that you find it somehow.
O’ if I should go into the night
to slump my eternal bed…
drink up old friend, drink up
and live long in my stead!
Written: December 1996
