Private Vennix

Was a time time not long ago
We went off for a Springsteen show
Should have heard this song right now
Talking small and screaming loud

Robbie was a friend of mine
He went out somewhere to find
A bright and everlasting truth
Little boy like me or you

Robbie by the age of 12
Moved a house all by himself
At the age of 22
He would crack the world in two

When the sky was wet and dark
Rob liked to go for a little walk
When the weather felt 90 degrees
He dug a hole on his bended knees

He could have been a drummer
Or a rooftop man
Walk a lady hand in hand
Now he's on a foreign shore
Where he’s taught to cry no more
Waiting for the rising tide
Still some love left in his eyes

Robbie is a friend of mine
He went out somewhere to find
A place to hide, al holy truth
Little boy like me or you

Robbie is a friend of mine
He went out somewhere to find
A place to hide, al holy truth
Tell me what more can he do
