Dave, too far away to help him, sends the Walrus as new lead: “A friend of mine is on his journey over the lonely slope and I fear he is already so astray. Go now with all that is required to his escape, bring help to him, that I may be consoled”

lyrics

The first time I met the Walrus
seems now like a dream
I was young and raucous
I was only 17

Partying in a soaking pond
where the water was no more
it just came into my life and our
friendship started for sure

Gave me wings to fly
still I'm flying high

Some friends introduced us
and we had a real big time
even if some said the Walrus' friendship
was a crime

The first time I met the Walrus
it was so long ago
now I'm too much older
and I soon will let it go
