Right Friend

(앨범: Everything Is Alive - 2023)

You've always been the right kind
Of friend when I'm at
My end you've always been the right
Friend when I'm at my end

Winter basement waiting out
Thunder barking
Up the wrong tree when it was enough
Enough to be unseen

To spend a life skating over
Lakes waiting for
Pin oak leaves to drop wasn't that your
That your Christmas dream
Wasn't that your dream

You've always been the right kind
Of friend when I'm at
My end you've always been the right
Friend when I'm at my end

One year back and one before
You were right then
In a sweater borrowed, braced against
The new fence in the snow

New England now is racing past
Still I need you
But you're here only in frozen patches and
Shadows in the leaves
Wasn't that your dream

You've always been the right kind
Of friend when I'm at
My end you've always been the right
Friend when I'm at my end
