The Brother Brothers - Friend in Hand Lyrics

I regard a garden in the winter
Looking restless i have found her
She is strong in all the ways that i adore her
She is deadly most of all

I know a friend in hand
And you've got a friend in me
There's a bar with a bartop soft and smooth
That opens at three
You can smoke inside at night
Give you water if you don't feel right
And there's fellas there that'll play some tunes
If the vibe is right

I am yours in all the ways that you can know me
Know i wish to be the lights upon the pavement in the rain
Know my song is sometimes all i have to bind me
To what i know and understand

I know a friend in hand
And you've got a friend in me
And this bar's been polished so much
You'd never think it was a tree
And sometimes when it rains
It rains and rains for days
And there's a fella there that lives upstairs
And never seems to go away

I know a friend in hand
And you've got a friend in me
And this chair by the door is the one that i love
Most naturally
There's a picture on the wall
They take bets on when it might fall
But for now it sits collecting dust
Like the rest of it all
