I laid you down for an audience
& I left you swimming in the dark
I may have made a mess of all that pure innocence
but all you want is someone who remembers where you’ve been
So I’m in the dark with a friend
Dancing thru damages I steal your cane
and yet you always get it back again
I’m unafraid to play on any day that you pretend
Sometimes I think that this is how the world should end When I’m in the dark with a friend
Winding your ribbon round that long last look
When letting go is all that is required
I’ll stay up talking with you till the monsters grow tired
All wounded and wondering my blanket to your chin When I’m in the dark with a friend
I wouldn’t crack you open if you didn’t have the room
You never leave me hoping that it wasn’t such a gloomy day so
spill me some time & I’ll replace what you took
wait a while the day may come again
carefully your holy ghost is writing in the sky
with big yellow tears as we listen to the wind
when I’m in the dark with a friend
It’s easy to let go when you’re this close to the end
So I’m in the dark with a friend
