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





(CHORUS:)

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 fire smolders silently

In blanket wrapped, she's sleeping now

and with a kiss she'll give her thanks

All friendship could allow



(CHORUS)
