To My Dearest Friend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] To my dearest and most beloved You stayed when the room went cold You knew my face by the damage Held my hand when I let go [Pre-Chorus] And if the road got dark You were my lantern line You said my name like home Over and over, every time [Chorus] To my friend, my friend You pulled me back again To my friend, my friend You were the steady end When I was barely standing You gave me back my breath To my friend, my friend I will not forget [Verse 2] You laughed through the heavy weather You made the hard days small Tea on the table by the window One kind word could mend it all [Pre-Chorus] And if the night came in You didn’t look away You stayed right here with me Until the hurt could stay [Chorus] To my friend, my friend You pulled me back again To my friend, my friend You were the steady end When I was barely standing You gave me back my breath To my friend, my friend I will not forget [Bridge] So if you ever fall I’ll be the hands you need I’ll carry what is heavy I’ll be the guard at your knees No matter where you wander No matter what we lose My heart knows how to find you Like you found me, too [Final Chorus] To my friend, my friend You pulled me back again To my friend, my friend You were the steady end When I was barely standing You gave me back my breath To my friend, my friend I will not forget [Outro] To my dearest and most beloved My friend
