lyrics

Friend, I’ve forgotten
Friend, I’ve forgotten your name
I tried to hold onto it, but much to my shame
The sequence of syllables started to all sound the same
So friend I’ve forgotten,
Friend, I’ve forgotten your name.

Friend I’ve forgotten
Friend I’ve forgotten your face
Somewhere or other the features all fell out of place
The curves and the edges that miles and years have erased
Oh, friend, I’ve forgotten,
Friend, I’ve forgotten your face.

And friend,
Oh, friend I’ve forgotten your voice
Believe, please believe, please believe me, it wasn’t by choice
When I try to imagine it now, I only hear noise
Friend, I’ve forgotten,
Friend, I’ve forgotten your voice.

Friend, I’ve forgotten,
Friend, I’ve forgotten your touch
Of all of the wounds that I carry, none pains me as much
I have to believe it was gentle, and loving, and such
But friend, I’ve forgotten,
Friend, I’ve forgotten your touch.

But sometimes when I’m in the snow, or the sun, or the rain
Or when I’m awake, or sometimes when I’m dreaming again
There’s a feeling that I can’t describe, that I can’t explain
But friend, I remember
Friend, I remember you then.

And sometimes when I feel like I’m flying, or like I could drown
When the world’s all as it should be, or it’s all falling down
Sometimes I hear a hello, sometimes an amen
And friend, I remember
Friend, I remember you then.
