Fare Thee Well
PFR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look who's coming round the bend, it's you, friend
Brothers in our mischief and the mystery
Seven years and one we shared together
Fared the storms and days of better weather
And now it seems our ship has found a shore
The flag still flies but she won't sail no more
Oh oh oh fare thee well
Only time will tell what will become of
All that we've begun, La la la life goes on
We laughed and sang our song but songs come to an end
So goodbye my friends
Fare thee well
Some say go back and start anew
Oooh, you can't return to times meant for the past
Believe me only one thing stays the same
Faith hope and love and love remains
And love has placed us right here where we are
Time has brought some changes but not a change of heart
Oh oh oh, fare thee well
Someone ring the bell and gather in all
One more time again, Ooo ooo ooo, here's to you
One more little tune a way to reminisce
A goodbye kiss
Fare thee well
Oh oh oh, fare thee well
Someone ring the bell and gather in all
One more time again, Ooo ooo ooo, here's to you
One more little tune a way to reminisce
A goodbye kiss
Fare thee well

I think this is more about the fact that it was just her time to go, not that there was foul play. It wasn't an avoidable accident, but just a full life coming to the end
