hope, my sometimes friend

My old hope my pal my sometimes friend

 I was sure you’d gone and left me for dead 

 Remember when you said

 Before you left last spring

 Think more with your heart

 And less with your head my darling

 Hope, my sometimes friend

 My old hope, my pal, where have you been

 I say luck is not enough when the wolves dig in

 And my darkest hours

 When the moths eat at both ends

 Where am I to find you

 When my thoughts are just spiraling hope, 

 Hope, my sometimes friend

 Oh, my old hope, my records worn down

 For years the same old songs until I barely made a sound

 Since you’ve been away

 Oh, my heart is black and blue

 Don’t give up on me, no

 And I won’t give up on you

 Hope, hope

 Hope, my sometimes friend
