Our Mutual Friend - Rick Barry

I’m no good at goodbye

so I watch from the distance

as you board that airplane and ascend towards the heavens

and I’ll stay behind and watch over the others

both the faithfully blind and the true believers

As your world’s spinning out of control

I’ll be your constant, yes I’ll give you hope

If you’re lost and don’t know where to go

I’ll be your compass, yes I’ll guide you home.

Darling please come home.

Now some have been healed

and others have perished

some answers revealed and some questions simply vanished

but hope still survives deep in the shadows when in the darkness of night you

were saved from the gallows

your heart’s heavy and your head is hung low

But I’m right beside you, yes I’ll give you hope

and when flight seems the best way to go

I’ll be your compass, yes I’ll guide you home.

Darling, please come home.

You were put in that cage

And you barely survived.

Then you made your escape

Under the cover of night.

And your friends are all gone and you mourn in their absence.

Your enemies are strong and they come in battallions

and you think of your mistakes and what you wish now to undo

there’s no distance too great there’s no cage that can hold you.

As your world’s spinning out of control

I’ll be your constant, yes I’ll give you hope

If you’re lost and don’t know where to go

I’ll be your compass, yes I’ll guide you home.

Darling please come home.

Please come home.

Please come home.
