I Need a Friend Tonight
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.
I've been walking down these streets alone
Twenty-four years of mindless games and I still can't find home
I've been trying to find Jesus
He's the only one who can save me from myself
Oh my Lord, I need a friend tonight
Oh my Lord, I need someone to help me through
Oh my Lord, I need a friend tonight
I'm so sick and tired of all this bullshit politics
I don't know if I'm coming or going
It's hard to keep hold of my wits
I don't remember your face, the rain is about to freeze
Clouds in the sky are drawing over me
And it's pulling me down to my knees
Oh my Lord, I need a friend tonight
Oh my Lord, I need someone to help me through
Oh my Lord, I need a friend tonight
On you
I don't want to take it all from you
'Cause now I don't need it
It's on you
But I don't want to take it all from you
'Cause now I don't need it
Oh my love, I don't want anything
Oh my love, I don't need anything
Oh my love, I don't want anything from you now (x4)
(Oh my Lord, I need a friend tonight
Oh my Lord, I need someone to help me through
Oh my Lord, I need a friend tonight)
