The News Came Down Today

The news came down today
That you had passed away
One of the thin blue line
Whose life and mine were entwined 

And I was taken back to then 
To those days when  we could see no end
And we stood together in the blue
I knew that I could rely on you 

So you have passed away now
And your past life takes a bow
I know when my time comes to its end
You’ll be there to greet me as my friend.
