My Good Friends

Well, I'm never gonna be a figure skater And I'm never gonna be a saint Never gonna show the haters who I am, or who I ain't I used to think that I could heal the whole world with a song I guess sometimes everybody gets it wrong But when the darkness descends I call up my good friends They come down to the riverbend And crack me up until the light gets in I ain't the only person who gets lonely But when I'm feeling lonely it sure seems that way And trying not to think about the things that I done wrong Gets harder at the dimming of the day So when the darkness descends I call up my good friends They come down to the riverbend And crack me up until the light gets in On those days when hope feels like a needle in the hay You're losing all your faith in humankind And everyone around you swears there ain't no brighter day But everything is darkness to the blind When the darkness descends Call up all your good friends Bring em down to the riverbend We'll crack up until the light gets in
