DISTANT FRIENDSHIPS

written and performed by Bob Evans

 

 

I sit alone with distant friendships and pieces of my past

The shrines I've built inside my head, they're all fading much too fast

The places that I've been and seen are now only in my mind

Fast fading into colors seen through eyes that are going blind

 

I sit alone, my thoughts confused, not knowing where I stand

No hope as yet can I foresee of a savior's guiding hand

Lost times are all I cling to, though the present's all I have

Your songs are all I sing to, for their words relate my past

 

I never asked you for a love affair

I was troubled, looking for a friend who'd be there

But you must have misinterpreted what I said

That's the only explanation for your line going dead

 

I've played your mine games and your time games

Yes, I've seen them through to the end

I've already lost a lover

Now please don't make me lose a friend

 

I sit alone, my thoughts confused, not knowing where I stand

I'm feeling like a sailor lost at sea, I can't seem to find my land

But my port of call is just a little ways to the west

So behind me I'm leaving everything I believe in, the only reality I trust

 

As I sit alone with distant friendships and pieces of my past
