Cleve, you left us too early, which is a bit ironic
You had a style about you that was sometimes, iconic.
If there was a school for cool, that’s where you graduated
Accepting the norms, you always attenuated
Standing up for the right, to be seen as you were
Took courage and insight and a fair bit of dare
Cleve, you left us too early.
You left us too early, to say our goodbyes
I’m just one of many shocked, with tears in my eyes
Thankful for the unique perspective
Always something upon which, to be reflective
As you look down now, I wonder what you’d say
I’ll ponder that for many day
You left us too early
You left us too early Cleve
With all your plans in the air
ATUNBI, Papaya and Grapes all laid bare
Man you knew how to do it, and you did it again
No more splendid moments, farewell my old friend,
You left us too early
