Voice Of A Friend lyrics

Light the fire in this castle

Watch it burn into a glow

By the river fear of quite sincere

There's a drawbridge life support

There's a plank we'll have to crawl upon

But dare not look below

Where the water scene is crystal clean

And the clouds are raining snow, so

[Pre-Chorus:]

Hush, hush baby

There's a lot of other ways to choke

We're in the freak show now

And we're dealing with a mind of its own

When too many worlds collide

I'd like to think it would be good if we talked

I ask you to not leave my side

I can't, man

This is quicksand alone

[Chorus:]

So I ask you through the voice of a friend

Why don't you stay with me?

Through the voice of a friend

Why don't you stay?

We're a submarine submerging

Yeah, we're simply smiling at the Earth

We're sending roses to the loved ones

Who had a hand in our rebirth

But still another day I'll cling to you

For faint directions home

Where we all will sit with open arms

To try to block the rocks we've thrown, so

[Pre-Chorus]

When too many worlds collide

I'd like to think it would be good if we talked

I ask you to not leave my side

Don't leave my side at all

[Chorus]

Yeah, stay with me

Through the voice of a friend

Why don't you stay with me?

Through the voice of a friend

Why don't you stay with me?

Please, why don't you stay with me?

You're my voice of a friend

So why don't you stay with me?

With me?
