Steve Harley - A Friend for Life (Live) Lyrics
Artist: Steve Harley
Through a smoke-filled glass, on a desperate night
when the sole of my shoe lets in rain
when the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour
will your feelings still be the same?
When the match won't light so the flames don't tremble and the years are condemning us, too
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life and I'm hoping it might be you
When I think of life as a chance not taken
or as a compromise tinged with regret
when the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king
will you tell me we're not done yet?
Will you think of me as a distant island or will you come with me to the moon?
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life and I'm hoping it might be you
Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith
keep me in coffee and so safe
and I'll feed your cats and I'll paint walls and I'll be your one-night-stand
...will you come with me in the certain knowledge that the catch is there's no catch at all?
I'll need a soul-mate to hold me and a friend for life and I'm hoping it might be you... yes, I'm certain it must be you
