lyrics

You were a good friend to me
At a time when I could have been better
You were aching to believe in all I could be
When I was up to my teeth in the weather
And wherever you are tonight
Know I couldn’t have made it through
Were it not for you holding the door
Open just to let in the truth
People slide in an out of your life
And I know I’ve been falling behind
The days and months and mountains of time
That untether the ties that bind
You were a good friend to me
At a time I was going so wrong
I cold dial you up and tune in to a light
That shone through an ominous song
And along the way I failed
To thank you for who I became
You threw a line unplanned to a drowning man
Who could only dream of doing the same
I was angry and I was sad
And there were times I didn’t give all I had
I know frankly I fell for the ad
There were good rhymes I lived that went bad
You were a good friend to me
At a time I barely held it together
You talked me to shore after I tossed the oars
Hellbent on drifting forever
Now a clever clown crying in a car
Dreaming about all the words I could use
On once lent ears long disappeared
To let you know I’ve been thinking of you
People slide in an out of your life
And I know I’ve been falling behind
The days and months and mountains of time
That untether the ties that bind
You were a good friend to me
