My Friend

I hear your foot steps in the dark,
and they echo off the stars,
sometimes slow and sometimes running,
sometimes keeping time with mine.

I hear your foot steps in the dark,
and I want to take your hand,
but your hands are full of lightning,
and your eyes are full of heat.

I hear your foot steps in the dark,
and I'm standing clear and hoping
you don't know how much I worry
'cos I want you to be free.

I hear your foot steps in the dark,
and I want to keep you safe,
but your heart is full of comets,
and your hands are full of light.

I hear your foot steps in the dark,
keeping time with all your hoping,
and I'll pray for what you want,
and I'll pray it makes you happy.

and I want to see you happy....
