My first FAWM song - Now Beans and Macaroni! - 03/05/15 07:29 PM
Some of you commented on the original demo of this one with just bass accompaniment. I have moved it along, although it is not finished - needs a real drum track and some tidying up. Take a listen and let me know what you think. The version with just bass is below it.

We Said Goodbye Copyright ©2015 Colin Ward
V1
I said goodbye to a friend today,
She left for greener pastures,
I don’t know when I’ll see her again,
She’s out seeking answers
V2
Opportunity knocked and she couldn’t say no,
Even though her friends will miss her,
A thousand miles between us now,
Her voice is just a whisper
Ch
And we celebrated when she hit the road,
With beans and macaroni,
Alcohol flowed as we kissed goodbye,
And we hope she won’t be lonely,
A cake was cut with her name on top,
And her things were put in a trailer,
She headed north with her head in a cloud,
At least it’s not Venezuela
Instrumental
Ch
Bridge
And we sometimes talk on the phone,
And chat about how we’re doing,
How the weather is bad, day after day,
And the friendship that needs renewing
Ch
