Marty Willson-Piper - Even Though You Are My Friend lyrics

rate me

In the distance, there's a hill

There's a house upon the hill

On this side it's dark

On the other side it's green

I bite my nails, I touch my face

How long before I reach that place

The sky is pressing down

And it tears me from my sleep

I fall onto the ground

And the gorse rips at my skin

I scratch my eyes and open wide

How long before the other side

Even though you are my friend

This is the end, this is the end

Even though you cannot see

It's up to you, it's not up to me

The dizzy spell has gone

The tablet dissolved

The ache has left its mark

A not forgotten scar

I try the door, it's locked

And time stands still, the broken clock

In the hallway where I stand

I see pictures on the wall

They're all places that I've been

And I've loved

The back door and the front door are

exactly the same

The floors are the ceiling and the

walls the window pane
