Cain

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From the moment I first saw your face, a loyal heart I knew

Your eyes would always meet my gaze, forever fixed on you

You'd look up, never wanting me to leave, a shadow at my heel

A comfort in my deepest grief, your steadfast love I'd feel

Chorus

Oh, Cain, my dear and faithful friend, for sixteen years and five

Your love was true until the end, you kept my soul alive

Now you're running free beyond the blue, a spirit wild and vast

A part of me still runs with you, a bond that's built to last

Verse 2

The open road, the wind in stride, with windows open wide

Right there beside me, side by side, nowhere you'd rather hide

My trusted partner, strong and true, a silent, steady hand

My best companion, through and through, across this lonely land

Chorus

Oh, Cain, my dear and faithful friend, for sixteen years and five

Your love was true until the end, you kept my soul alive

Now you're running free beyond the blue, a spirit wild and vast

A part of me still runs with you, a bond that's built to last

Bridge

That final whisper, soft and low, a truth I held so tight

I love you with all my heart, you know, my guiding star, my light

A love like ours can never fade, it echoes through the years

A promise to my spirit made, to banish all my fears

Banjo Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Cain, my dear and faithful friend, for sixteen years and five

Your love was true until the end, you kept my soul alive

Now you're running free beyond the blue, a spirit wild and vast

A part of me still runs with you, a bond that's built to last

Outro

Now running free with Bear and Koa, waiting for me there

No more pain or sorrow, no, just joy beyond compare

Until we meet again, my friend, beneath the endless sky

You'll be running free, until I join you by and by

Outro - acoustic guitar fade
