Requiem for a musical mentor killed in a motorcycle accident.

Vernon (lyrics 1985, W Hodge) Vernon fell off his bike today And I can’t believe that a year’s gone by I remember us drinking his warm beer And how he was always teasing me Nothing special, he was a friend Jimmy called and said he was in traction He was hurt pretty bad he said Maybe we’d better go and see him I said I didn’t want to see him that way Nothing special, he was a friend We’d sit at the shop and he’d play these records I’d never heard before I bought a bike and we were going to go riding As soon as I could learn Nothing special, he was a friend A couple people told me that Vernon was dead I mean “passed away” Our fiend is “no longer with us” See you at the wake Nothing special, he was a friend I ride by your house sometimes I always say hello I don’t sit at the shop anymore And I’ve never been to a funeral Nothing special, he was a friend x
