Friends First Songtext
von Fred Small

I wake up early
In the cool of the morning
Magenta and purple over Casco Bay
Sleepless with yearning
Reason returning
I send you this song like a summer bouquet

I want to be friends first before we are lovers
Friends first, taking our own sweet time
Friends first, lay your head on my shoulder
Tell me your story and I′ll tell you mine

We've both tasted the passion
Of reckless abandon
Drinking our pleasure like blackberry wine
And wakened in panic
In the arms of a stranger
Darling, let′s do it different this time


Friends first before we are lovers
Friends first, taking our own sweet time
Friends first, lay your head on my shoulder
Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine

Two aged lovers sit by the fire
A look carries meaning only old friends can know
A lifetime together come down to embers
And their faces are filled with the light from below

Tell me your bad dreams
Sing me your lullabies
When did you run away and when did you fight?
Show me the caterpillar
Show me the butterfly
We'll get as close as the wind and the night

Friends first before we are lovers
Friends first, taking our own sweet time
Friends first, lay your head on my shoulder
Tell me your story and I′ll tell you mine

Friends first
Friends first
Friends first
Friends first
Friends first
