Was A Friend

Lyrics for Was A Friend

You've been so kind I know, I know So why did I hurt you? I didn't mean to hurt you But I'll- Funny kind of greeting, not exactly hostile Not exactly facing, not exactly turning away Not exactly frowning, not exactly smiling Lurking by the door without a sign of wanting to move Though hardly friendly, not an angry gesture did it make Just quite unnerving It's been a long time I almost forgot where we buried the hatchet "Bin a long time no see" Pidgin English native to none After several silences, a cautious head nod "Bin a long time no see" This could take forever. Did it want to come for a dig? It did not answer I was feeling restless at the door Ashamed of my fears Where was the hatchet? Suddenly was gone I woke up feeling stupid No-one else awake though dawn was only minutes away Quietly I rose to fill the morning pee pot What a silly dream, not like what really would have occurred Old wounds are healing Faded scars are painless – just an itch We are forgiven It's been a long time
