Lyrics: Will Oldham
Music: Will Oldham
Well, youโre my friend
And can you see?
Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got?
'Cause you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go
But could you see it's opposition
Come rising up sometimes
But it's dreadful and position
Comes blacking in my mind
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
That I see a darkness
That I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you
In a hope that somehow you
Would save me from this darkness?
I hope that someday, buddy
We have got peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
So we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
No, I see a darkness
No, I see a darkness
Oh, no, I see a darkness
Oh, no, I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you
Would save me from this darkness
