lyrics

I was a friend of a friend of a friend
You were a sister of mercy
Heeding a call from the still voice within
To talk to a man full of worry

Outside a post room on faded cement
Kindled were two sparks of spirit
Struck by a chord of a video game even if
We could barely hear it

I don’t know why I was
So behind the curve
All till you came along
And helped me learn

Vagabond, vagrant, evicted and out
Aimless and wantonly wandering
In a Kadesh of decade three
When even I could not recognize me

Terrified to do something that would
Jeopardize all that we had
And so I did nothing, or nearly nothing
And watched as it all went bad

I don’t know why I was
So behind the curve
All till you came along
And helped me learn

I was a friend of a friend of a friend
Of a friend of a friend of a friend

I don’t know why I was
So behind the curve
All till you came along
And helped me learn
