Well, you're my friend (It's hard, you told me) And can you see? (It seems hard only…) Many times we've been out drinking Many times we've shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever notice The kind of thoughts I got? Well, 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 its opposition? Comes rising up sometimes That is dreadful and imposition Comes blacking in my mind And then I see a darkness And then I see a darkness And then I see a darkness And then I see a darkness Did you know how much I love you? Is there hope that, somehow, you Can save me from this darkness? Well, I hope that someday, buddy, We'll have peace in our lives Together or apart Alone or whit our wives And 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 Oh no, I see a darkness Oh 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 there hope that, somehow, you Can save me from this darkness?
