Friend of my friend
|
Friend of my friend,
Brother of my brother. . .
I am a fool!
Because you make me laugh like no one else can.
You make me laugh like a fool.
Why is it that we can talk for hours?
I sit and listen like a fool,
Yet advise you as though I were wise.
But I am not foolish enough to be wise.
Friend of my brother,
Brother of my friend...
Why did we never talk so until we were far apart?
Perhaps because far apart we will never risk becoming close.
For I am not foolish enough to risk
Losing you,
Brother of my brother.
For I am too foolish to risk
Gaining you,
Friend of my friend.
