Five years after the fact, the death of a friend still weighs heavy on the heart.

Lyricist on an endless quest for the perfect melody.
I'm afraid I can't claim to be a band, although I have been known to jump on a bandwagon from time to time. No, I'm just a humble lyricist who is in absolute awe of the composers who have stumbled into my life and bothered to wrap a melody around some of my words. I've been attempting to legitimately call myself a lyricist since I was about 14 years old. Have a listen, won't you, and let me know if I qualify.

Story behind the song
The 5th anniversary of the death of my best friend from cancer prompted me to write this tribute. Special thanks to Chuck Crowe for bringing the lyric to life.
Lyrics
Where August Went Greg C. Brown and Chuck Crowe I’d like to know where August went, Autumn came too soon that year. These days when leaves prepare to fall, There’s competition for my tears. I was a sore and bitter man, To watch him suffer wasn’t fair. He said he’d made his final peace, But I was sure God didn’t care. CHORUS Thirty-nine years, much too young, To leave with so much left undone, A life of promise brought to an early end. Five years later and I still grieve For what September took from me, I sure would like to know where August went. Another birthday came to him , But I refused to celebrate. I found no joy in that last month, The doorway to his waiting grave. CHORUS Thirty-nine years and much too young To leave with so much left undone, A life of promise brought to an early end. Five years later and I still grieve For what September took from me, I sure would like to know where August went. He was my oldest childhood friend, A brother more than those of blood. We traded dreams and savored hopes, It hurts to miss someone so much. CHORUS Thirty-nine years and much too young, To leave with so much left undone. A life of promise brought to an early end. Five years later and I still grieve For what September took from me, And I’d still like to know where August went. TAG September came and took my friend, I’d like to know where August went.
