Fred Small - Friends First lyrics

I wake up early in the cool of the morning Magenta and purple over Casco Bay Sleepless with yearning reason returning I send you this song like a summer bouquet I want to be Chorus: Friends first before we are lovers Friends first taking our won sweet time Friends first lay your head on my shoulder Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine We've both tasted the pa**ion of reckless abandon Drinking our pleasure like blackberry wine Wakened in panic in the arms of a stranger Darlin' let's do it different this time Chorus Two aged lovers sit by the fire A look carries meaning only old friends can know A lifetime together come down to embers And their faces are filled with the light from below Tell me your bad dreams sing me your lullabies When did you run away and when did you fight Show me the caterpillar show me the bu*terfly We'll get as close as the wind and the night Chorus
