Friend of Mine

She wasn't just a shoreline light Burning out in front of me She wasn't just a highway line Stretching to infinity She wasn't just a changing tide Turning ships to oceans wide She was a friend of mine She wasn't just a hand to hold I will go where she will go She wasn't just a heart of gold Stop the search, she's got it all She wasn't just a whispered vow Tongues of flame in every line Rising up to testify She was a friend of mine She was a friend of mine Through the blame, the blood That your momma gave up Through your daddy's neighbourhood we'll fly Past the clay, the dust That our mouths are made of When we kiss there's something Pure inside She was a friend of mine She wasn't just a smiling sky Not a cloud to break her gaze She wasn't just an old July Echoed through an Autumn day She wasn't just an August night Lift me out of place and time Shrugging off the danger signs She was a friend of mine She was a friend of mine
