Some I Went To School With

Some i went to school with not living today And time has left me looking wrinkled and gray The farewell bell for them will too ring for me Some time in the future whenever that be The fact is us humans are mortals and fact does not lie And like all other life forms one day we must die And on how long we live we do not have a say The clock on our lives ever ticking away On looking back it does not seem that long since i went to school Far north of this countryside by Warrnambool But in human years this is long ago And time that rusts iron has become my foe Some i went to school with now resting in peace And the longest lived life of time not a long lease.
