William Hale - How We Could Be Friends

What can I do to get to know you
I'd love to show you how we could be friends
You could call me up when I feel blue
Like the others used to do
But no
Never again
Never again

I know you've given me your number
What a shame I can't remember now
I must have dialed a dozen strangers
Hoping I could somehow catch your voice
On the line
I guess I'll keep trying

For beauty, like a wilted flower
Perfect, but in need of nursing
All the love within man's power
The hours the heart spends rehearsing
Minds in rhythm, formulaic
Meld into one, the truth of one
Answers: ancient and archaic
Anchored to our spinning sun

Oh! The horrors I have felt unfolding
Are rich sights for the flies' beholding stares
But somehow, it seems, the dark spell cast
Has brought no fortune, nor disaster here
I have been spared
I have been spared

But, in times like these, when all I see
Cannot be spared, cannot break free from doom
I get myself lost in a dream
I close my eyes and sweetly think of thee
My love, or my love unknown

Never knowing, never seeing
That which stretches out before me
The ape of my internal being
Can't escape me, can't ignore me
Now awake with arms outreaching
Onward toward the land of promise
As light from the eternal summer
Illuminates the path I wander
