As far as my eye can see There are shadows approaching me And to those I left behind I wanted you to know You've always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go And oh, when I'm on the rise Bitter words mean little to me Autumn winds will blow right through me And someday, in the mists of time When they ask me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes Oh, when I'm on the rise As far as my eye can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I left behind I want you all to know You've always shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go And oh, when I'm on the rise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like autumn winds will blow right through me And someday, in the mists of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine As the final curtain lifts before my eyes Oh, when I'm on the rise As far as my eye can see Oh, when I'm on the rise As far as my eye can see Remember that you were a friend of mine Thank you for watching!
