about

MY FRIEND is about the people i've been lucky enough to connect with from boyhood to present. some i know well + for years. others represent brief but clear-eyed + intense encounters.

lyrics

my friend

im glad
you are my friend
we were good at the beginning
have we ever reached the end?

you know me better
than anyone else
a flashlight in a dark place
when it look like everything's goin'
t Hell

a simple look
across a room
is all it takes
for Heaven's sakes

i was
attracted
you remember that?
won yr heart from desire
but that all
fades to black

i know you better
than anyone else
a light bulb
on a back porch
naked as Hell

a simple look...
across a room
is all it takes
for Heaven's sakes

i don't have yr picture
+ i don't see you much
but that don't matter
does it babe
we were never in
a rush
