Slowly Crept Away

SLOWLY CREPT AWAY
-KEVIN STEVENSON
In loving memory of Billy the percussionist

Went out late in search of fun; promenading after 1:00. 
...until the fun had slowly crept away.

 Billy was a friend of mine out for his last time that night.
...until the falls had taken Bill away.

Why did he go away?
That night the falls took my friend away.

Hanging out on concrete walls throwing logs into the falls.
...'til the falls had taken Bill away.

Went out late in search of fun; promenading after 1:00. 
...until the fun had slowly crept away.
