Jesu, Sun Kil Moon - Fragile lyrics

We made love this morning and she went
Off to Best Buy and Bed, bath & Beyond
But, I stayed in bed because in my
Mind there was so much goin' on
Chris Squire died the other night and
It brought tears to my eyes
'Cause, I'd just seen the
Italian film Youth where
His song played five or six times
The love song "Onward" Chris Squire
Was the Starship Trooper

The angelic songbird brought down
By Leukemia I heard
I remember spinning The Yes Album
With my childhood friend Christopher
Who was battling Leukemia too
And losin' his hair
We were in his brother's bedroom hanging
Out with his older brother
Spinnin' "I've Seen All Good People" and
"Your Move" over and over
That green album and learning to
Play guitar became my obsession
While everyone else was trapping muskrats
And shooting Winchesters and Remingtons
Christopher died a year later
(contained in everything)

The last time I saw him
We were smoking laced reefer
Some crazy guy was chasing us with a baseball
Bat and Christopher and I just laughed
(there's a love)
A warm sunny memory a stringer full of fish
It wasn't long after he was killed by a bus
(reclaimed in everything)
A divine intervention 'cause he was losing
The bout and losing his voice
(you're the light)
He refused to suffer in a hospital
'cause he just wanted to
Live like everyone else and have
Fun and hang out (burning brightly)

Went to his memorial and his
Brother was a drunk, angry mess
He was crying and kicking and out of
His mind and threatening to kill us
So the next morning we
Returned to Christopher's grave
The same graveyard where he and I used
To drink Bud Light all day
But on went my life and I
Bought all the Yes albums
Yeah, even the ninety-nine cent
Cut-out bin Tormato

And I saw Yes back in Ohio
Then at The Warfield in San Francisco
And Jon Anderson had so much energy he
Was jumping around and hitting every note
But when we came home my
Girlfriend learned it was
Some other guy they found
On YouTube from Ontario
We were pretty far back that
Shows you what I know

Years later I got a call
From director Paolo Sorrentino
He loved the song "Onward", he said it was
A great American ballad and I said "No
It's by Chris Squire" and he shrugged
Like whatever and puffed his cigar
And he flew me out to Switzerland and he
Filmed me playing the song all day long
Me singing "Onward" to some extras and
Michael Caine out on a lawn
And for everyone out there
Who never heard it
Trust me "Onward" is a great love song

I finally got to see Paolo's film
On a day off in Milan the main theme of the
Soundtrack was that dreamy, old love song
The movie was dubbed in Italian
And Steve Shelley fell asleep
But thank god for "Onward" because they
Cut all my other scenes
I think of John Paul Jones and John Entwistle
And the great bass players of that time
But the guy who cut through
Like no other guy was

The guy who played as Rick with a pick
Chris Squire and I laid in bed and I
Thought of those old albums
Close to the Edge and Relayer and
Going for the One and Fragile
The last one Yes ever made
Was Heaven and Earth
If heaven is real then none belong there more
Than Chris Squire and my long lost friend
Christopher
