I have a friend I never miss
I have a dream that comes true
And I don't notice the light that creeps in
And I'll think of change
Turn the other cheek
I just wait here until the darkness fades
I see everything I threw away
My excuse was simply that life was unusually good
To catch up to things you threw away
Babyface has faith in himself
But you'll lose it again
(Again)
Again
(Again)
A path we intended to travel
Short notice, just leave
There every flight became a crash course in sinking
I had a friend who called me sensitive
Who may know me too well
But the version from Scrooge is missing
I saw you in the park, your red hair
The smell of fresh grass in spring
Come like a storm in April, a huge
Feeling of freedom, heavier than grief
You'll loose it again
Again
You are a friend I learned to miss
You are a dream under construction
I pretend to sleep but am woken when you creep in
And we will never leave Memphis
Took no pilgrimage to the west
And that fantastic experience is something I'll miss
Dreaming of Graceland
And the squalid children
The gates opened and the ghost of Elvis
Still stands in his endless isolation
Looking desperately for his lost integrity
It will never come again
Again
