I Had A Friend

from Anthony Ruptak by Anthony Ruptak

/

about

Written in a haunted golf clubhouse at 2:00 a.m.

lyrics

I had a friend
he had bad dreams every night
I had a friend
and he recalled them every time
I had a friend
he lost his hair when he turned twenty-three
and I've been told
he bought a boat and now was lost
in the sea

And oh, my God
are you dead or just away
Oh, my God
are you asleep just like they say
Oh, my God
does your halo burn
at night
For it seems
that it goes out
just in time

And you sit upon the clouds
watch as we die
All your angels gather round
desperate to remember
how to cry
Praising your name
and getting bored
a dead gray filling in their eyes

We had a bird
my little sister and I
We had a bird
we snipped his tail
he couldn't fly
We had a bird
and he was green and blue and pissed
in his water
One day he died
she buried him beneath a flower
and took a shower

Are you looking down in wonder
wishing we would all give up
And do you care that most go under
down to hell
or is it just bad luck

Can you find my friend,
my sister and their tears
their many tears
Or do the skeletons dissolving just
blend
into the years

And I, I know, I know

that in this hardened ground
we till, aint nothing
gonna grow
