Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain.
Week before, they all seemed the same.
With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly.
And oh I, ain't wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things.
Lord, lord Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, you're lookin' like you're dyin'.
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love.
Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things.
You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
You can't let one precious day slip by.
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want,
Maybe sometimes then you don't,
But leave your mind alone and just get high.
Well by and by, way after many years have gone,
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone.
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can,
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again.
Well, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin' after subway trains
Don't forget the pouring rain.

"You don't need no Gypsy to tell you why.."
This song and thinking in general has gotten me through. A combination of things running through my head, but only an hour ago I just realized I have to live my life. And I have parties women drinking whateever. I've done it. But I have to do more and get going. I won't live forever and this really helped me wake up. Realize I gotta do what I gotta do while I'm still here. Really inspirational song to get going, get what you want to do done. Remember your friends but remember what you want and what you feel you have to do before you leave this earth.

The first verse seems to be Gregg coming to terms with Duane's death himself. After this he notices his friends feeling the same way and tells them get on with living their lives. The final verse goes even further talking about creating a better world for everyone.
Its an unbelievably positive and inspirational reaction to something so traumatic to someone.
