I've found a friend who says he hasn't any fears He has a brother who's been sailing here for years But if I have this friend for long He'll hear this sad, confusing song He'll look away from all he thinks he knows And wonder where it goes He'll turn his head and look away all alone Turn his head and look away all alone And I've found a friend who says he's shed no more tears I've got him a woman who will love him through the years If I've ever known his dreams and things are all the way they seem He'll walk away from all his promises and laugh about betrayal He'll turn his head and look away all alone Turn his head and look away all alone And I've found a friend who has not been here very long He goes around and round and spins you out a song Says his memories to blame when nothing ever sounds the same Hear him go inside the words he said and crawl back out the hole He'll turn his head and look away all alone Turn his head and look away all alone And I've found a friend who says he cannot sleep at night He lies awake and balls his fist to beat the fright Says it's hard to get ahead and things are better done instead It's a lonesome situation here, hard and wrong and gone He'll turn his head and look away all alone Turn his head and look away all alone And I've found some friends who turn their heads and look away With all their reasons sounding good for things they say If I have these friends for long, I'll get so lost inside this song I'll get away from what I'm leaning on, and go on and on and on Turn my head and look away all alone
