So Many Friends - Martha Wainwright

And the children’s eyes

They turn as I walk away

I am becoming a prey

And the firelight

It burns in your eyes

There are times you despise me You criticize me I have lost so many friends

And I have gained so many memories

I can change the colours of the night

But the hum & the drum they stay the same

When you’re tapping the same vein

And I have noticed lately

That the time that you took

To look at my face

Is gone without a trace

Oh, you despise me I have lost so many friends

And I have gained so many memories

And I have lost so many friends

And I have gained so many memories

Over the years things disappear

But once in a while you call my name

In you, you’ve got the lovin' touch

And I live & breathe for the rush

Oh when we touch there’s a rush

When we touch…

I have lost so many friends

And I have gained so many memories

And I have lost so many friends

And I have gained so many memories
