Friend in Hand Lyrics

I regard a garden in the winter

Looking restless i have found her

She is strong in all the ways that i adore her

She is deadly most of all

I know a friend in hand

And you've got a friend in me

There's a bar with a bartop soft and smooth

That opens at three

You can smoke inside at night

Give you water if you don't feel right

And there's fellas there that'll play some tunes

If the vibe is right

I am yours in all the ways that you can know me

Know i wish to be the lights upon the pavement in the rain

Know my song is sometimes all i have to bind me

To what i know and understand

I know a friend in hand

And you've got a friend in me

And this bar's been polished so much

You'd never think it was a tree

And sometimes when it rains

It rains and rains for days

And there's a fella there that lives upstairs

And never seems to go away

I know a friend in hand

And you've got a friend in me

And this chair by the door is the one that i love

Most naturally

There's a picture on the wall

They take bets on when it might fall

But for now it sits collecting dust

Like the rest of it all
