In Memory of Frank Savage

Where is the man that I loved,
   and where did he go?
Where is the truth that he lived
   and what did he sow?
What was the song he sang for me,
   When a new life began for me?
Where is the man that I loved,
   oh where did he go?

Where is the voice that
   awakened me from my sleep?
Where are the arms that
   submerged me in waters deep?
Where is the smile that gave me life?
   Where the command that brought me strife?
Where is the man that I loved,
   oh where did he go?

He was my father; he was my mother.
Long, long ago in a make-believe land.
I was his friend, and he was my brother,
Far, far away in a castle in the sand.

Where is the angel striding to and fro,
   Uttering words in a tongue that he did not know?
Where are the hands that guided me?
   Where is the voice that chided me?
Where is the man that I loved,
   oh where did he go?

Where is the one who taught me always to pray,
   Hoping at last to witness the promised day?
where is the laughter in his eyes?
   Where are the tears that made me wise?
Where is the man that I loved,
   oh where did he go?

He was my father; he was my mother.
Long, long ago in a make-believe land.
I was his friend, and he was my brother,
Far, far away in a castle in the sand.
