Elliott Smith
Friends
Bright light almost blinding
Black night still there shining
I can't stop, keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew
Had a friend, she once told me
"You got love, you ain't lonely"
Now she's gone and left me only
Looking for what I knew
Ah
Mmm, I'll tell you now
The greatest thing you ever could do now
Is bring your smile to someone who's blue now
It's very easy
Met a man on the roadside crying
Well, I'm afraid, and there's no denying
With people feeling there'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew
So anytime somebody needs you
Don't let them down, although it grieves you
Some day you'll need someone like they do
Looking for what you knew
Ah
Mmm, I'm telling you now
The best thing you ever could do now
Is bring a smile to someone who's blue now
It's very easy
