Just a Friend of Mine - Vaya Con Dios

Good morning Mary Ann And how are you upon this bright And sunny morning I hear your brother Ted Got caught for speeding But was let off with a warning I hope he's learnt his lesson And the next time he goes out will drive with care It doesn't pay to drive too fast All it does is make your life last shorter I know you won't believe this But it happens to be true I am a loner My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of His name's Homer He follows me wherever I go And of course I do my best to feed him It's not the easiest of tasks When you consider unlike cats They're broader Do what you want to within reason But-remember take your time Nothing stops for those Who can't afford to wait The best advice that I can give you Is to hold on to your head And as long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine And it's true to say that a good fiend is hard to find But I'd like to think that you were A friend of mine Good morning, Sarah Jane And how are you today Tell me is that your mother She looks a lot like you Though come to think of it You look like one another It's funny how with likenesses Most people have a difference of opinion They said that I was like my dad Now they say that I'm just like his daughter You'll always be a friend of mine As long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine A friend in need is a friend indeed You'll always be a friend of mine

I wanna love you I wanna feel you Oh I cant take it When I'm not around you It's hard you know Loving through a telephone The sun is rising The light is blinding I'm trying to wake up But I cant fight it It's hard you know Sleeping in this bed alone You were there when I was hurting You were there when I fell behind Even though our fire isn't burning Just know you're a friend of mine It's cold this morning The window's open The draft is kicking Into the kitchen It's hard you know Living in this house alone My body's shaking I'm re-arranging All of the records Down in the basement It's hard you know Trying to make some room to grow You were there when I was hurting You were there when I fell behind Even though our fire isn't burning Just know you're a friend of mine I wanna love you I wanna feel you Oh I can't take it When I'm not around you It's hard you know Living in this house alone But now its over I'm far from sober I Think i'll get it when I get older It's hard you know Trying to make this house a home

Where are you now, my fallen angel? Have you found some peace at last? Making your exit like a stranger Left me bound to the past To the pain And the lies And the dangerous games That you liked Enough to pay The price with your life One day my time will come, and baby I'll be travelling on that train That's gonna take me to you, baby Well, I promise you then When we're face to face Like a man You won't try to escape I won't let you hide And in the end We'll stop this masquerade Down here the circus goes on, baby Your woman's running loose As for your so-called friends, now baby Guess who's wearing your suits Fighting over your bones? Guess who's forever blue Left alone in the cold? Crying oceans of tears Hurt in her soul A million years And mountains of gold Won't make up for all, oh baby The hurt that you've done Oh, baby What have you done?
