Friend of mine
haven’t seen you in such a long time
are you feeling the pull of the weight
on the heart of your sleeve
as you stop for a pause
and relearn how to breathe?
and when I go there I’ll go there with you
until it’s over I share life with
Friends of mine
are you holding your cards or mine?
are we folding laundry outside
in the sun under sky
as a steady wind blows
the clouds go on by?
and when I go here I’ll go there with you
until it’s over I share life with
Friends of mine
do you have any treasures to find?
are they easy or covered in water
and buried at sea?
like an uncovered daughter that sings just like me?
and when I go there I’ll go there with you
until it’s over I share life with
You keep me grounded with the wind at my back
the sound of unwound strings without the attack
it’s not time but the patience that you lack
Walking barefooted and stepping on cracks
Keeping the time even though it is hard
hang it on walls and keep it just like gods
sending me flowers and subtle regards
I knew that we knew the moment they knew they were ours.
when I go there I’ll go there with you
until it’s over I share life with
Friends of mine
so glad that we finally met
extending my service and all that I do is your show but it’s still here offered up wherever you go
and when I go there I’ll go there with you
until it’s over I share life with you
