Never A Lover And Always The 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.
Come to me madam, come one and all
I'll be there to save you from your romancing fall
I'll be there to touch you with some words to a song
And I'll see what I can do to fix what is wrong
You're sharing my power you're sharing my pain
You tell me you love me and I will not complain
My advice seems to work, for you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and I will tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it will end
Cause I'm never the lover and always the friend
I put on no pressure and know I'm on your mind
I love you forever and I'll always be kind
Loneliness knows me so I know what to say
And I see how it will be so I know when to play
Come share in my power, come share in my pain
Come tell me you love me and I will not complain
My advice seems to work for you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and I will tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it will end
Because I'm never the lover and always the friend
I can remember a time that was enough
And the safety we had made it seem almost like being
in love
Being in love
Oh, love
A bartending minstrel, I will answer your call
A carnival gypsy with his twelve-string crystal ball
I can't really touch you so my songs are all lies
The truth is simply pain and the tears in your eyes
But you can share in my power, you can share in my
pain
You can tell me love me and I cannot complain
My advice seems to work and you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and I will tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it must end
Because I'm never the lover and always the friend
Come share in my power, come share in my pain
You can tell me love me and I cannot complain
My advice seems to work for you're soon on your way
And you thank me so much and I tell you it's okay
But a kiss on the cheek is where it must end
Cause I'm never the lover and always the friend
Cause I'm never the lover and always the friend
