Song of Our So-Called Friend

Remember when our so-called friend

Would not call out to you

While tumbling loosely out a hole

Punched through your home

It's pretty clear, though you could hear

You truly finally knew

In time, he'll tell his tale the way he'd like it told

Now he isn't on the phone

His story might as well be so

Well, loving is as loving does

And I'd say we should know

Because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone

Your face's falling tears

To me they're lovely and they're dear

Though you don't love me

And it's clear that I will never see you in my arms

There's no room in your heart

For even this finely-sharpened dart

Although I had started to think there might be hope

It isn't so

So wake up

Make up some new song again

Around the same tune

The water cools, the leaves they fall

The sun it bends, the summer ends

Our so-called friend doesn't need you

So proceed out the door and down the street

December's lying near

But in the oven's heat this house is now a home

Sixty days of trips and stays

You took to tell me, dear

That you cannot love me because you secretly still love a stone

Although I put my lips to your face

Trying to push his kiss out of its place

Although my heart started to race

Now it has slowed

I'll let it go
