lyrics

Been mulling it over in my head again
All those things that I should have said or did
If you want to I'll start over
Will you let me try?
I don't want to be the one that makes you hurt tonight.
Tonight.

I thought I had something to say
What I said just came out wrong
What I meant to say is
I want you to be here, be my one close friend
Don't ever go away.
Not like that again.

Another rainy morning looks like time's been put on hold
Even the dog is looking at me like I'm getting old
It's another lousy job
With pretty good pay
My predictions my conflictions and addictions
Will only further our condition.
And hold our souls at bay... anyway

I met some friends along the way
Some were tried and some were true
By the time that I met you
I was up against the fence I was held there by the wind
Don't ever go away
Not like that again.

I've made my bed but I still can't sleep at night
With just enough strength I turn out the light
And the darkness is a smoke that's slowly choking
Like a ghost that's afloat that's stoking and stroking
Stoking and stroking the light until morning.
And it's dawning, it's dawning.
Dawning.

Please don't ever go away
I need you here at home don't ever go away
I need you to stay here be my one true friend
Please don't ever go away.
Not like that again.
