Looking for a Friend

LOOKING FOR A FRIEND

So you’re tired of pretending and you’re thinking that you’d like to take a holiday

Get away from this world for awhile

Take the car, maybe end up in some isolated pocket of the Milky Way

Where the moon-eyed shadow puppets smile

You’ve been looking for a friend

Down a long and dusty mile

Looking for a friend

For a while

So it seems that you’re lost in a forest where it’s only ever yesterday

And its birdsong to beguile

Would it be such a sad thing, you wonder, with your shadow just to slip away

Down the tall trees’ closing aisle

Tired of looking for a friend

Tired of all your life

Looking for a friend

All your life

Time you stopped

Feel so alone

All boarded up, abandoned in a house of flesh and bone

Time you stopped

The stream around the stone

I hope you find what you’re looking for, I hope you find what you’re looking for

I’ve been looking for a friend

Of my own

If you’re tired of pretending and you’re thinking that you’ll maybe take a holiday
