Lyrics:

My Sweet friend
where have you been so long?
We’ve all been waiting on you.
Come again, the sky will fill with song
we’ll stroll in the morning dew.

It’s been cold here without you, extra blankets choke the bed
lonely nights take too long, it’s clear we need you back again
my sweet friend.

My sweet friend
everyone needs to hide
do the dark silent freeze.
Come again, green plumes will fill the sky
we’ll ride the perfume breeze.

I’ve been told you’ll be back and I put my trust in you
I’ve been actin’ kinda bad but I would not forsake you.

Absence makes a body curious
abstinence only makes us furious.

We’ve been rolled
we’ve been rocked
and we still keep spinning ‘round
I’m your conscience
I’m your word
you’re my sweetest dreams unbound.

My sweet friend, your voice is a waterfall
tumbling from the moon.
Once again, your laughter’s a summer squall
rumbling all through June.
