The torch,  was passed  
I said to you 
The show, the cops 
The 'STING' 
The turnpike 
The brief shower 
Be true 
 
 I know you, you'll 
Continue 
Your wicked ways 
While, I, lonely, still married 
Lost in this maze 
 
Just be my friend 
I still want you so 
The torch has been passed 
A concert ago 
 
The next one 
I'll be there  
Perhaps with a new friend 
For you, my dear 
My hopes and dreams 
Often though, wet 
To have you 
Always near
Matt Mondschein
