You held my hand on a lonely mountain top
I took your words to heart and they kept me from jumping off
I took your photograph for a couple to whom you meant just as much as me
We never talked, but somehow you scored my misery
You were a friend of a friend of a friend
And I can't wait to hear your voice again
I held you close on a trans-atlantic flight
Kept to attention by your stories through the night
And on a summer's night in Camden you watched me take the stage to sing
But you were gone before I could ask you anything
You were a friend of a friend
And one day I hope to shake your hand again
And I won't forget what you did for me
You'll never know the many ways you set me free
It warmed my heart when you crossed my mind today
And I hope some days you feel the same way
We stayed up late in the grove beneath your bed
And you wrote me songs that spoke to the voices in my head
When I disappeared you were always there to help me through the night
But when you left, I never got to say goodbye
Oh you were a friend
It'd feel so good to call you one again
But I won't forget all you did for me
You'll never know the many ways you set me free
It warmed my heart when you crossed my mind today
And I hope some days you feel the same way
I said I hope some days you feel the same way
