And he's a thoughtful man
It's just he likes to keep his thoughts
and she tries to draw him out a bit
She says "He's writing something,
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
a bright and distant town
and praise your many talents
Well I'm passing through,
and we know we won't sleep
She laughs, puts up the tea
She says "You know I think you re
member every part of me."
An d the water starts to boil
Showing all the light we give
And showing where the light extends
I'd give it to my friends
Sometimes I see myself fine,
sometimes I need a witness
And I like the whole truth
But there are nights I only need
Sometimes they say "I don't
But let me walk with you some"
You can't save me from all
With their flashlights and
And I'll act like I have faith and like
But I really just have friends
