Lyrics for My Friends by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | End Of The Summer | | Track: | My Friends | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 105 | | | | Lyrics: | "He's a quiet man," that's all she said
And he's a thoughtful man
It's just he likes to
keep his thoughts up in his head
And we finally meet, and she tries to draw him out a
bit
She says "He's writing something,
Hey now, why don't you talk about it?"
And he
doesn't make a sound
He's just staring at his coffee
And I know there's all this
beauty
And this greatness she'll defend
But I think it's in my friend
I have a friend
in a bright and distant town
She's found a common balance
Where you do your work, and you
do your love
And they pay you, and praise your many talents
Well I'm passing through, and
we know we won't sleep
She laughs, puts up the tea
She says "You know I think you remember
every part of me."
And the water starts to boil
And if I had a camera
Showing all the
light we give
And showing where the light extends
I'd give it to my friends
Sometimes
I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness
And I like the whole truth
But there are
nights I only need forgiveness
Sometimes they say "I don't know who you are
But let me
walk with you some"
And I say "I am alone, that's all
You can't save me from all the wrong
I've done."
But they're waiting just the same
With their flashlights and their
semaphores
And I'll act like I have faith and like that faith never ends
But I really just
have friends | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
