A Friend For Life

A Friend For Life Through a smoke-filled glass, on a desperate night When the sole of my shoe lets in rain When the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour Will your feelings still be the same When the match won't light, so the flames don't tremble And the years are condemning us too I'll need a soulmate, to hold me, and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you When I think of life, as a chance not taken Or as a compromise tinged with regret When the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king Will you tell me we're not done yet Will you think of me, as a distant island Or will you come with me to the moon I'll need a soulmate, to hold me, and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you Give me asylum, and I'll keep the faith Keep me in coffee and so safe And I'll feed your cats, and I'll paint walls And I'll be your one night stand Will you come with me, in the certain knowledge That the catch is, there's no catch at all I'll need a soulmate, to hold me, and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you Yes, I'm certain it must be you
