Song for a Friend - Jamie Scott

Have you heard the news

They’ve been making plans for you, the game is over

Taillights of the plane are fading darker

And I bled for you

And the birds were humming songs that sound so minor

Something in the air that sounds like thunder

I heard you played a song

And the chords they just broke her heart so tired

To the depths no other gun has ever fired

And the ground it cried

As the water stole your dreams and drowned your fire

Tears like armour falling silent

And then you turn to her and hold her

And you tell her

If your eyes start crying

And your arms get weak

And you can’t see through the stars on a cloudy sky

Lift your love with courage

And your heart with love

When you’re walking on you own on a starry night

Looking up into the sky

When you can’t see my light

I’m walking by your side

And it’s the choir that lose

Music sounded so much brighter played by you

Now the crowd sits patient with their lighters

I used to like the blues

Cause they sound so far, and eased my mind

But now heaven’s a lot closer than I’d like

And then you turn to her and hold her

And you tell her

If your eyes start crying

And your arms get weak

And you can’t see through the stars on a cloudy sky

Lift your love with courage

And your heart with love

When you’re dancing in his arms on your wedding night

Looking up into the sky

When you can’t see my light

I’m dancing by your side
