(Verse 1)
we all have days sometimes,

times where the days are too heavy
and it's hard to rise...
and there in the fog of our problems you see,

there is a light shining through and watching me...
you can't always be there when life gets me down,
but then I just call you and you come around...


(chorus)
my defenses they crumble

when I'm in the arms,
that hide me from people
who tell me I'm wrong...

and I know there's a place for me
inside your heart,
that I can crawl to when I fall apart...

and when we are old and my life's at an end,
what a treasure I've carried to have such a friend...


(Verse 2)
we've all been burned by a loved one before,
when they'd just pack up and walk out your door...

then there's a painful void that you must fill,
and you're there to catch me and make sure i'm well...
and then out of hurt,

i will spit, fight and bleed
and you'll be my anchor,
bring me back to me...


(chorus)


(Verse 3)
there's nobody like you and i've lived near and far,
and deep in the night sky you're my brightest star...

and i'm far too stubborn and selfish and proud,
to tell you in words how i need you around...
and i've got no letters to thank you my friend,

so let my guitar be paper and my song a pen...
