Nick
I still recall the night last year
The mate upon the phone
There’s something in the voice
I hear Just chills me to the bone
You hear ‘bout Nick Dillane today?
Comes crackling down the line
Such simple words, said in a way
Just knew he wasn’t fine
It seems that he was towing
In winds a little strong
And there’s no way of knowing
Exactly what went wrong
I hear the words wash over me
And a tear grows in my eye
Lockout…downwind…no release
No chance to say goodbye
Well it’s nearly been a year today
Since I’ve seen his smiling face
Still seems like only yesterday
That he stood here in this place
Well I know that I won’t see him
And I know that he is gone
But as long as I’m still breathin’
His memory will live on
So now I’d ask, you charge your glass
And just be glad we met him
Let’s drink to Nick, whose time has passed
I know I won’t forget him
