A Song For A Friend

we were misunderstood.
we caught a path to the ocean floor
and took it, running like the wind.

and they all wondered like fools
with golden calfs on the safest shore,
and we were misunderstood.

your face was high up in the clouds,
and you tried so hard to prove
that there was something left of me.

and in the quiet i knew
a secret plain to me as day,
maybe i misunderstood.

i don't believe in fate
but i believe in God
and sure as hell believe in you.

and from a prison so deep,
"you can be anything that you wanted."

but something happened that year
that made the seasons change
and summer faded into fall.

and with that chilly orange breeze
we changed our songs and fell away
like raindrops caught up in the Flood.
