The Ones We Seek

The one I seek when I'm in trouble once again

The one I've known a lifetime, the one I call my friend

The kind of bastard that would tell me to my face

When I've had enough and it's time to go and puts me in my place

If the skies come tumbling overhead

And I don't have you beside me anymore

Close the book, shut my eyes, I go to bed

Remembering the good times and don't cry about the sad

When the day breaks because it could not safely land

Then I call upon the one that doesn't dress up or pretend

There's too much value put on people and their fame

Living in this cardboard world with plastic as a name

If the skies come tumbling overhead

And I don't have you beside me anymore

Close the book, shut my eyes, I go to bed

Remembering the good times and don't cry about the sad, no

'Cause if the skies, they come tumbling overhead

And I don't have you beside me anymore

Close the book, shut my eyes, I go to bed

Remembering the good times and don't whine, don't whine about the sad

If the skies, they come tumbling overhead

And I don't have you beside me anymore

Close the book, shut my eyes, I go to bed

Remembering the good times and don't whine about, don't whine about the sad

('Cause if the skies come tumbling overhead) 'Cause if the skies are tumbling, then we'll abide and have a drink

(And I don't have you beside me anymore) Before there's nothing anymore, oh no

(I close the book, I shut my eyes, I go to bed) I close the book, I shut my eyes, I spill my guts, won't tell you lies

(Remembering the good times, don't cry) I'm begging you please

The one I seek when I'm in trouble once again

The one I've known a lifetime

The one I call my friend
