Lyrics
I walked around the block with you,
And you never knew,
Quite what it meant,
In those times, when my soul is weak,
And I'm feeling so bleak,
And bereft.
And I could talk around the clock with you,
Morning, night or noon,
Just say when,
Take our time to look at the clouds as they pass,
How they move so fast,
Mmm...
And I could sing,
Of your colours gleaming,
And how you lend,
Me a shoulder for leaning,
I, thank you,
For being a friend.
I could face the hardest knocks with you,
As the storm rolls on through,
We'll both be safe,
But should we find ourselves miles apart,
You'll still be on my heart,
Mmm.
If we hit walls and disagreements brew,
Sure they'll be a few,
I'll always wait for you,
Our roots hold firm in a deeper truth,
Than words so easily misconstrued,
Ahh.
And I could sing,
Of your colours gleaming,
And how you lend,
Me a shoulder for leaning,
I, thank you,
For being a friend.
