A Friend and Nothing More

She walked out of the rain today
In search of someone's hand to hold
And, as an old friend, I took her in
And waited to be told

She spoke of love gone bad, you see
I listened, as it said I should
Her eyes brought back a thousand times
Just like I knew they would

Oh, here I go again
Just where I've been before
A friend and nothing more

The tears, they grew much fewer now
Her body smelled of autumn's seed
And in my shaadows, I recall
About a friend in need

The fire smolders silently
In blanket wrapped, she's sleeping now
And with a kiss she'll give her thanks
All friendship could allow

Oh, here I go again
Just where I've been before
A friend and nothing more
