My Friend
Babylon Circus Lyrics

My friend,
The song is dedicated to a close friend.

This song's for you
The message of the lyrics speak specifically to the friend.

You're such a good man,
The friend is recognized for their positive qualities.

And you really ought to know
There is an urgency for the friend to understand the following message.

That when we're apart,
The friend is thought about when not together.

I think of you
The artist reminisces about the good times they've shared with the friend.

Ok maybe not everyday,
The artist acknowledges that they don't think of the friend every day.

But still I do.
Regardless, the artist still holds their friend dear.

So I wrote this song as a present,
The song is a gift to the friend.

I needed to tell you how much I care,
The song expresses the artist's affection for the friend.

And I hope you can whistle this sweet melody
The artist wants the friend to recall the song and its message when times are tough.

When the road gets rough and you feel in despair
The friend may turn to the song when they are feeling down or alone.

That I'm so glad,
The artist expresses their joy regarding their friendship.

Our roads have crossed
The artist values the shared experiences they have had with the friend.

If you hadn't been on my way
The friend has had a positive impact on the artist's life.

I'd now be lost
The artist may not be in the same place had they not met the friend.

I remember that time you took me by the hand,
The artist recounts a specific moment between themselves and the friend.

When the clouds had overtaken my skies,
The artist was experiencing a difficult time and the friend helped them through it.

I couldn't see a thing, but you showed me, my friend,
The friend acted as a source of light and understanding for the artist.

Taht the only light to follow was the fire in my heart.
The message the friend imparted was to listen to one's inner voice and passions.

And sometimes, when I see you the world goes so quiet,
The friend has a profound effect on the artist that leaves them speechless.

Even clocks stop ticking for a while
The awe caused by the friend is so great that it feels like time stands still in their presence.

So we open our hearts and let the Angels talk
The artist and friend connect on a deeper level.

Through us as for once we let go of our pride.
The connection between the two friends happens when they are vulnerable and humble.

Can you hear me, can you hear me ?
The artist questions whether the message of the song is being heard.

Can you hear me when I sing so ?
The song is a way for the artist to communicate their feelings to the friend.

I know you're out there somewhere in the wide world
The friend is not physically present, but the artist knows they are out there somewhere.

Am I singing in vain ?
The artist worries that the message isn't getting through to the friend.

Ain't got a clue where you are
The artist is unaware of the friend's current location.

But I know you can hear my voice.
Despite the unknown whereabouts of the friend, the artist believes their voice reaches them.

As I sing in the rain ?
The artist will continue to send messages to the friend through the song, despite any obstacles.

Even if you're in the desert
The artist still believes their message can reach the friend, even if they are in remote or difficult to reach places.

I know you can feel the drops.
The artist is confident the message of the song inspires emotions in the friend, even if they aren't physically present.

And even if some day one of us leaves
The artist considers the possibility that one day the friendship may come to an end due to death or other factors.

For the land where only spirits dwell
The 'land where only spirits dwell' refers to the afterlife, suggesting that one or both of the friends may pass away.

He will thread his way back into the other's dreams
The artist believes that the friendship transcends death and that they will still be connected in dreams or memories.

To sing him a sweet song and to help him farewell.
Even in death, the song will provide comfort and a way to say goodbye.

My friend,
The song bookends with the reaffirmation that it is for the friend.
