Was a Friend lyrics
Furry kind of greeting
Not exactly hostile
Not exactly facing
Not exactly turning away
Not exactly frowning
Not exactly smiling
Lurking by the door
Without a sign
Of wanting to move
Though hardly friendly
Not an angry gesture
Did it make
Just quite unnerving
It's been a long time
I almost forgot
Were we buried the hatchet
Bin a long time no see
(Pidgin English native to none)
After several silences
A cautious head nod
This could take forever
Did it want to come for a dig?
Not answer, I was feeling
Restless at the door
Ashamed of my fears
Where was the hatchet?
Suddenly was gone
I woke up
Feeling stupid
No one else awake
Though dawn was only
Minutes away
Quietly I rose
To fill the morning pee pot
What a silly dream
Not like what really
Would have occurred
Old wounds are healing
Faded scars are painless
Just an itch
We are forgiven
It's been a long time
Furry kind of greeting
Not exactly hostile
Not exactly facing
Part of these releases
