You've been a friend of mi-ine for so-o many year-ears

When I first came to Vancouver with drea-eams twisting in fear-ear

And oh Jea-ea-ean, friends are like rare stones

Increasing in their value when realized they can't be owned



And I'd write songs only when the pain became too obvious inside

When the screaming in my sou-ou-oul left me no-o place to hi-ide

And woh-oh Jea-ea-ean, love is li-ike a prayer

So afraid of your own questions as you stand unanswered there-ere-ere



Still you wa-alk the other way rather than risk rejection

Watch the wind blow all hope away as you crawl into yourself for protection

Still I try to make you see there's so much more I've gotta be

Oh don't turn away, don't lose to the cold, don't leave me here-ere to die-ie alo-one



A little of your love couldn't hur-urt me none

Let it shine on through like rays from the su-un

And a little of my love couldn't hurt you none

Let it run beside you, let it flow inside you, let it purify-y-y-y-y-y



You-ou break down and I stumble for the right words of consolation

The circle of love spins rou-ound and round searchin' for new destinations

Woh-oh Jea-ea-ean, life is li-ike the sea-ea

Trapped within it's shoreli-ines we're still strugglin' to break free-ee-ee



Still we wa-alk the other way rather than risk rejection

Watch the wind blow all hope away as we crawl into ouselves for protection

Still I try to make you see, I love you so it frightens me

Woh, don't turn away, don't lose to the cold, nobody wa-ants to die-ie alo-one



A little of your love couldn't hurt me none

Let it shine on through like rays from the su-un

And a little of my love couldn't hur-urt you no-one

Let it run beside you, let it flow inside you,
