Jimmy Nail - Absent Friends lyrics

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
