Elbow - Dear Friends lyrics

rate me

Dear friends

You are angels and drunks

You are Magi

Old friends

You stuck a pin in the map I was in

And this is a note from the roadside

Cutting the breaze of this Tennessee sundown

Came the sound of the voices I know

I've been pondering trees

On the steeliest come-down

And now in the moment I'm home

I've got bluster enough

For the sails of a clipper

And the truth never frays a good yarn

But it struck me to say

While so far away

You were with me today

You are here in my head,

In my heart

Dear friends

You are angels and drunks

You are magi

Old friends

You stuck a pin in the map I was in

And you are the stars

I navigate home by
