Absent Friends - Jimmy Nail

I didn’t believe all the things

That I’d heard about you

I couldn’t believe all the things

That I’d heard were true

And then you took me for a ride

I started on my downward slide

You wouldn’t believe all the measures

That I’ve been through

I should’ve believed

All the things that I’d were true

I put my coat as the time-bell rings

I give a shiver as the day begins

You put your spell on me

And I can’t shake you free

So let’s drink to absent friends

My insides are crying out as I walk alone

A body without a soul looking for a home

Another hold in my expensive shoe

Another shiver as the rain comes through

You put your spell on me

And I can’t shake you free

So let’s drink to absent friends

You put your spell on me

And I can’t shake you free

So let’s drink to absent friends

Between the benches nd the swinging door

I’ve walked that route a million

Times or more

So just remember, when you look away

I climb a mountain every single day

You put your spell on me

And I can’t shake you free

So let’s drink to absent friends

You put your spell on me

And I can’t shake you free

So let’s drink to absent friends
