Faded Friends by Miller Caldwell

I need to know what troubles me and need to realise

To see what others see, through teardrops in my eyes

In Pittsfield Massachusetts, I sang with Larry Bart

Folksongs lit the campfire and feelings warmed the heart

Faded Friends return to greet me

Singing softly, smiling softly

Faded Friends from years gone by

Share my thoughts before I die

I need to know what vexes me and need to understand

I need to be alone again to touch each grain of sand

In Tema, West Africa, not far from east Accra

Julie Nii-Moi was my Black Star, Childless Mother, Africa!

Faded Friends return to greet me

Drumming softly, drumming quickly,

Friends for life and friends for after

Share my joy of love and laughter.  

Footnote: On 25th January 2007 Jullie Nii-Moi died in Tema Ghana.

Julie rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.
