The Ballad of Gerald And Mike (Something Special) Lyrics

Well you don't see Gerald and Mike

Walk together anymore

I know they've had their fights

But it's never gone like this before

And it all seems so terribly wrong

It was the kind of thing I based my definitions on

I know that they had something special

But now I guess it's gone

Well Mike he came by

And told me how those events came down

It wasn't about money

And Gerald never ever fooled around

And I saw Michael shed a tear

Said he didn't know they'd changed so much

In only seven years

It's obvious they had something special

But now it's disappeared

When the world came down on their shoulders

Together they were Atlas for a day

You knew they'd stay together sure as Summer followed Spring

And nothing could stand in their way

And I wish I could say this was nothing

And they'd soon be back to stay

But you haven't seen the look in Gerald's eyes

These past few days

And I'm sure that the neighbors think it's grand

Because they couldn't stand to see them

When they held each other's hand

Even they could tell that it was something special

They'd never understand

When the world came down on their shoulders

Together they were Atlas for a day

You knew they'd stay together sure as Summer followed Spring

But something's brought an early winter's gray

No you won't see Gerald and Mike

Walk together anymore

I know they've had their fights

But it's never gone like this before

And it all seems so terribly wrong

It was the kind of thing I based my definitions on

I know that they had something special

But now I guess it's gone
