Friends First (Live)

I wake up early in the cool of the morning

Magenta and purple over Casco Bay

Sleepless with yearning, reason returning

I send you this song like a summer bouquet

I wanna be friends first before we are lovers

Friends first, taking our own sweet time

Friends first, lay your head on my shoulder

Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine

We've both tasted the passion of reckless abandon

Drinking our pleasure like blackberry wine

And wakened in panic in the arms of a stranger

Darlin' let's do it different this time

Friends first before we are lovers

Friends first, taking our own sweet time

Friends first, lay your head on my shoulder

Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine

Two aged lovers sit by the fire

A look carries meaning only old friends can know

A lifetime together come down to embers

And their faces are filled with the light from below

Tell me your bad dreams, sing me your lullabies

When did you run away and when did you fight?

Show me the caterpillar, show me the butterfly

We'll get as close as the wind and the night

Friends first before we are lovers

Friends first, taking our own sweet time

Friends first, lay your head on my shoulder

Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine

Friends first

Friends first

Friends first

Friends first

Friends first

Thank you.
