Matthews' Southern Comfort - Thoughts For A Friend lyrics

Each day he lived he just grew younger And where he looked he'd never been The nights were more an endless wonder Each day the most he'd ever seen His mild approach was more a way of life His way of living just a ball And scarcely did he wonder was he safe It never bothered him at all At times appreciation deafened him Those nights he'd smile and not believe And when the lights were going up on him Each step he couldn't quite conceive And each day I wander down along the street Alone with thoughts about a friend So helpless never looking up to see Each life we never can defend
