Warren Haynes - A Friend to You lyrics

Dive in, dive in, boy The water's only deep And head first is the only way into this life Oh sit right down Is there anything I can do To be a friend to you Maybe give you something you could keep But what would that be Ride on, ride on, boy Your white horse into the wind Critic's darling-poet to the working man They try to love you but they will never understand Oh sit right down Is there anything I can do To be a friend to you Maybe give you something you could keep Everything you had you either lost or threw away And at the end of the day I guess that's what I'll be When you're finally through with me You and your mystical charm A hole in your soul-another in your arm People bow down to you But they could never bow so low as when you sink Like a stone Into your blue throne Wasted, wasted, wasting away Like the years we've both seen come and go No way to bring it all back Screaming your lungs out Where have all the listeners gone? Did they turn their back on greatness? Did they turn their back on a light divine? They say every star burns out in time Boy, sit right down Is there anything I can do To be a friend to you Maybe give you something you could keep But what would that be Everything you had you either lost or threw away I'll tell ya, at the end of the day I guess that's what I'll be When you're finally through with me When you're finally through with me When you're finally through with me
