A friend and nothing more

She walked out of the rain today
In search of someone's hand to hold
And as an old friend I took her in
And waited to be told...

She spoke of love gone bad you see
I listened as it said I should
Her eyes brought back a thousand times
Just like I knew they would...

Oh here I go again
Just where I've been before
A friend and nothing more

The tears they grew much fewer now
Her body smelled of autumn's seed
And in my shadows I recall
About a friend in need...

The first smolders silently
In blanket wrapped she's sleeping now
And with a kiss she'll give her thanks
All friendship could allow...

Oh here I go again
Just where I've been before
A friend and nothing more

Oh here I go again
