Some Friends

From Walking on Locusts1996

Lyrics

Some Friends

[Verse 1] The tide has turned around and the chill settles in Summer is almost gone I run along the shore I can't avoid it anymore [Verse 2] In the window where the sun shines through On the bedroom linen that keep you cool You lie there thinking in wide-eyed surprise Hardly believing we realise that Some friends pass on Some friends belong to time
