[verse 1] Losing somebody you love taken away by a God that lives above it's making you wonder what is right or wrong it's making you wonder if life's but a sad song
[chorus] So please try to understand what it's like to lose a friend whenever I think of him I feel left all alone like a child in the dark with a hole in my heart where the sad winds blow
[verse 2] My life has changed since he's been gone and there is nothing I can do to bring him back home I went to the land where they buried my friend talked to the wise man, needed a helping hand
[chorus] So please try to understand what it's like to lose a friend whenever I think of him I feel left all alone like a child in the dark with a hole in my heart where the sad winds blow
[tin whistle and fiddle solo]
[chorus] So please try to understand what it's like to lose a friend with all this loneliness inside All I do is killing time Tell me how to rip the tide
[chorus] So please try to understand what it's like to lose a friend whenever I think of him I feel left all alone like a child in the dark with a hole in my heart where the sad winds blow where the sad winds blow
