Should I say dear friend of mine?
Can I say you are never the same?
Do I still need you to tame?
Or are you but playing a game?

Here with me I want you to stay
Come night, come the heat of day
Never do I wish for you to stray
For I need you right in this way

Never do I wish for you to deceive
A friend who in you wants to believe
The best there is for you to receive
Are you ready the best to give?

Come back, yes, come back home
Here you are never alone
The best you thought had long gone
Is right here to welcome you home

Come on read my palm
There I have written a psalm
Come reach for my arm
You know I mean no harm!
