dar williams - my friends lyrics
“he’s a quiet man,” that’s all she said,
and a thoughtful man,
it’s just like 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.
and i’m p-ssing through, and we’re not going to sleep,
she laughs and puts on 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, 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’m all alone, that’s all,
you can’t save me from all the wrong i’ve done,”
but they’re waiting all the same,
with their flashlights and their semaph-r-s,
and i’ll act like i have faith and like that faith never ends,
but i really just have friends.
