“Where Did You Go?” starts with an a cappella intro, then moves into a mid-tempo soul song that grapples with the confusion and grief over where to find those whom we’ve lost. This song is dedicated to bassist Fred Hopkins, writer Joe Wood, Jr., and writer/multimedia artist Greg Tate.
lyrics
Where Did You Go
I miss you, my friend
I love you and I’ll never
See you again…
Where did you go?
Where are you now?
Did you slide into the earth
Burrow into the loam?
Sink down deep
Into the soil, and
Mix your bones with the stone?
Where did you go?
Did you slip into the sea?
Let your blood flow ’round
The fish and flora
Nestled sleeping
Down dark and deep?
Where are you now?
Did you fly into the air?
Take one final gasp, and
Blow your heart, out
Into the farthest
Reaches of the sky?
I knew one day, that
You, like me,
Would take your leave
And disappear
But I had no idea, that
It would be so soon, so soon…
I miss you, my friend
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where are you now?
