Goodbye Josh Lyrics by Peter Yarrow

Peter

1972

Goodbye, Josh
Goodbye, old friend
Your strings are quiet
The music ends
What was it you said
In a farewell to me?
You said live it hard
Then let it be

Goodbye to Woody
And to Cisco, too
Goodbye Lead Belly
And, Josh, here's to you
You fill the morning
With sunshine and light
These songs are memories;
A part of my life

Oh, time to listen
Time to share
Time to remember
Time to care
After the thunder
Comes the rain
And in the morning
It starts all over again

So, goodbye, Josh
Goodbye, old friend
Your songs are ended
The music ends
What was it you said
In a farewell to me?
You said a live it hard
And then let it be

Time to remember, Josh
Time to care
You know after the thunder
Comes the rain
And in the morning
Begins again
