--words and music by Michael Stanley
from "Michael Stanley", 1973, Tumbleweed Records
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
A FRIEND AND NOTHING MORE... An ode for the "nice guys" who lose the girl to some cretin....
