You Were A Friend Of Mine

(album: Get Behind The Wheel - 2023)

When all our old songs and carnivals and crimes
Die frozen like a harvest not reached in time
We cling to the memory of the love inside the vine
Won't you know me without the champagne and wine?

Won't you know me now, you were a friend of mine?

We beat our thoughts to a pulp and they rot there in the bed
Every word is spoken and still nothing is said
When all the fallow fields are poisoned and dry
Won't you know me, forsaken though am I?

Won't you know me now, you were a friend of mine?

Where's the green, the new green, on the cusp of being born?
Ripped too soon from the womb, lifeless and torn
When all my fallow fields are poisoned and dry
Won't you know me, forsaken though am I?

Won't you know me now, you were a friend of mine?
Won't you know me now, you were a friend of mine?
