FRIEND OF MINE  (1985)

To walk on thin ice in wintertime at night
When there’s a full moon and pale star shine
The snow isn’t white in the middle of the
Just a subtle and softened tourmaline

When you left on that plane to Ohio my brain was numb
As it ever could be
Something lost on your flight to the stars on that night
Said to me “you’re not leaving” friend of mine

I walk me down to the river
To drown in some murmuring love song
‘Cause lately it seems that in all of my dreams
There’s this image of you stuck in there

Everything changes color one way or another
Things just don’t stay black and white for all time
And what’s wrong isn’t right and what I’m trying to fight
Is this feeling we’re changing, friend of mine

Sometimes all I want to do is love you
Sometimes I just want you to stay
‘Cause all times I just want to be part of you and your life
I just can’t seem to feel no other way

So to walk on thin ice in wintertime at night
When there’s a new moon and full starshine
We’re gonna be like those lights of the stars on that night
Say to me you’re not leavin’
Say to me you’re not leavin’
Say to me you’re not leavin’
Friend of mine
