No Friend of Mine

Ain't No Friend of Mine

(A blues waltz)

Night...

Ain't no friend of mine.

He lies to me...

He tells me what I think I need...

Dreams...

Aint' no friend of mine.

They whisper a wonder,

They tell me such things to believe...

But my dreams...

They ain't no friend of mine...

Friends don't leave me

When the morning comes...

But this night...

No, it ain't no friend of mine...

When the night can deceive me, and I can't believe me

When the morning comes...

Fear...

Ain't no friend of mine...

She holds me close...

Whispers the loves that I'd love to feel.

Loneliness...

Ain't no friend of mine...

She crawls into my sheets,

Like a lover...and she don't ever leave.

But lonely nights....

They ain't no friend of mine...

Friends know when to go home,

And when to let me sleep, just let me sleep...

But that fearful voice...

She ain't no friend of mine.

She just steals my lips and my heart,

And my blood and my confidence...

Until the morning comes...

I'll just wait it out.

Until the morning comes...

I'll just hide behind my door.

Until the morning comes...

I'll just cry a little, die a little, move on and get old.

Until the morning comes...

until the morning...comes.

Morning light...

Ain't no friend of mine.

It's just here to remind me...

That the night has gone...

That the night has gone.
