Well you never flew the colours 
And I never saw you bend a knee 
To any man 
But you were never short of brothers 
There was always someone 
Holding out a helping hand 
Well, I remember the summer 
We were riding to a show 
And our road went on forever 
So we were riding nice and slow 
And then I heard the band play 
And the sun broke through the sky 
It was a fine day for a funeral ya 
But I never wanted you to die 
No one ever wanted you to die 
We were watching at the crossroads 
When I saw you wiping out 
Some metal box just slipped down 
Right into the side of you 
I was screaming 
I was screaming 
I was screaming 
But nothing was coming out 
They always said you were 
A dark horse 
Because you rode the land alone 
But you know I think the real reason 
That you were always riding home 
And your road goes on forever 
The sun will always shine 
One day we'll be together 
When we cross the final line 
When we cross the line 
If I turn to you and call you a friend 
When all is said and all is done 
Will you meet me on the other side 
Seven million miles beyond the sun
