[Verso]
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there´s nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you

[Estribillo]
And you were always my friend from Childhood´s End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand?
It´s Childhood´s End
But never, the dream is over

[Verso]
Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin´ when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said:

[Estribillo]
You were always my friend from Childhood´s End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won´t have to have to pretend
It´s near the end
You won´t ever be a rock and roller

(Yeah) you were always my friend from Childhood´s End
But never, the dream is over

You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I´ll think of you

[Solo]

And you were always my friend from Childhood´s End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It´s Childhood´s End
But never, the dream is over


You´ve got something about you,
You´ve got something I need...")

Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood´s End
For eternity I´ll think of you

Yeah, you were just like me, I was just like you
For eternity I´ll always be thinking of you
