Was A Friend

Dm
Furry kind of greeting, not exactly 
hostile
Dm
Not exactly facing, not exactly 
turning away
Dm
Not exactly frowning, not exactly 
smiling
Dm
Lurking by the door
                             Bm
Without a sign of wanting to move
              Gm                   
Though hardly friendly, not an 
     Dm
angry gesture
                           Bm
Did it make. Just quite unnerving
            Gm
It's been a long time

Dm
I almost forgot were we buried the 
hatchet
Dm
"Bin a long time no see", (pidgin 
English
Dm
Native to none). After several 
silences
Dm
A cautious head nod. This could take
 forever
                          Bm
Did it want to come for a dig? It 
did
    Gm                        Dm
Not answer. I was feeling restless 
at the door
           Bm                      
Ashamed of my fears. Where WAS the 
Gm
hatchet?


[Verse]
Dm
Suddenly was gone. I woke up
Dm
Feeling stupid. No-one else awake
Dm
Though dawn was only minutes away
Dm
Quietly I rose to fill the morning 
pee pot
Dm
What a silly dream
Not like what really would have 
 Bm
occurred
               Gm
Old wounds are healing
                    Dm
Faded scars are painless – just an 
itch
          Bm
We are forgiven
            Gm
It's been a long time
