lyrics

Well like good boys they wake up early
And work in the fields
Work till they’re tired
Work till their feet are ragged and wild
They’ve done good work, you know they’re much admired
But it’s time now to rest and raise a glass
Why do they sit, a couple of ghosts
Locked in the past?

Just cause it all feels wrong
Sometimes
No thought can hide it
And none too strong
Sometimes
To mend what was divided
Friend of mine

We left our washing out on the line
And now it is raining
Bring it inside
Where it is warm and these wet rags can dry
Nothing that’s torn need be repaired
No, it’s not required
Nothing will pass except with time
Yeah, you know that
Why you moving so fast?

Just cause it all feels wrong
Sometimes
No thought can hide it
And none too strong
Sometimes
To mend what was divided
Friend of mine

Oh friend of mine
Friend of mine
There’s been bitter wine for drinking
But not this time
