Lyrics
Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It only took me a lifetime
It nearly took you a while
All your affairs are clandestine
And now you're caught up in mine
The Sun is setting me down
In a good part of town
Honey won't you come round?
Be my friend tonight, come on
This planet I'm on
Be my friend tonight, come on
I've waited too long
It nearly took a while
For you to let me in
It only took a life
To set me off again
Oh just me and you, the things we could do
Now baby I've thought it through
Away from this place, elope with no trace
Come on then no time to waste
Be my friend tonight, come on
This planet I'm on
Be my friend tonight, come on
I've waited too long
You're crazy not to take me, baby
Take me baby, take me
You're crazy not to take me, baby
Take me baby, take me
Be my friend tonight, come on
This planet I'm on
Be my friend tonight, come on
I've waited too long
