And so I thought of you again
wishing you were near again
I thought of you again
because your voice
was so true again
I thought of you again
and wished you were here
I wished you would hear
my silent tears
I cried this night for a lost friend
but deep inside I cried this night
for you my sweetest friend
I wish you had the time
to listen to my silent tears
wish you had the time
to spend with me
I wish I could cause a smile
to make you happy
I wish I could write a rainbow
‘cause when I see your face I truly know
you and I were once one
but not in this life time
it happened long ago
thunder shot through my body
lightning flashed and blinded me
winds blew apart what was left of me
and left me alone again
as I was before
running on empty
I wondered for a moment
how far a cadillac convertible would go
running on empty; top down
cruising an endless street
wondered for a moment
how far I would go running on empty
head down low
cruising an endless street
I took a walk down through my mind
and saw you standing there
next to a street lamp
your body shaking
in the freezing rain of my emotions
what was I to do?
wondering about you
wondering if you’d care
to stay a while
with me in my freezing rain
the closer I got to you
the further you ran away
was it something I didn’t do?
or was it something I had said?
what made you run the other way?
I never lied to you
never deceived you
I never hurt you
always spoke up for you
always defended you
I was there for you in certain ways
on certain days
when you weren’t there
I cared enough for you
as I had cared for others
but there are only a few
who have touched my life
who have touched my feelings
some could never
some would sever
but forever friends all remained
love and friendship
hands held tightly
never to separate
I want a friend in you
the best friend anyone could have
a lover
someone to laugh with
to cry with
someone to listen to
and talk with
someone to fill in the void
to alter this course of mine
I’m heading for a brick wall
but see you standing there
on the street corner
under a lamp
in the freezing rain of my emotions
