A song about a school friend who every time I saw him he was completely different...

lyrics

IT ALL SOON PASSED

The first time I saw you I was so impressed
Your eloquence surprised me I must confess
Your words were like jewels but it's a terrible shame
You were caught in the speed deal of a borrowed name

And you were so high
It's hard to believe it
So high, it's hard to conceive this
So high, but it all soon passed

The next time I saw you, you seemed to have changed
Your words were so hopeless, and your meanings were strange
You wanted to talk but had nothing to say
For that jury of critics laugh when you talk in this way.

And you were so low
It's hard to believe it
So low, it's hard to conceive this
So low, but it all soon passed

And Bonny tries hard to teach me
Her rolling eyes will beseech me
Her loving arms try to reach me
But then again, I don’t know

The next time I saw you, you were standing apart
Bored by your friends, you knew them by heart
Eyes on a stroll, elusive as dreams
You were stalking yourself on a silver silk screen

And you were so cold
It's hard to believe it
So cold, it's hard to conceive this
So cold, but it all soon passed

The last time I saw you, you were walking in black
You'd slipped into darkness and not turned your back
You saw the abyss and started to scream
And there was no one to help you for this wasn't a dream

And you were so afraid
It's hard to believe it
So afraid, it's hard to conceive this
So afraid that it would never pass

Next time I saw you I was so impressed
Your eloquence surprised me I must confess
