Just like an old friend, kinder than expected
That Cadillac came and gave our girl a ride
Loss has no end, it binds to our connection
We don't speak of it, we don't even try

If you could help me to share the trouble
That you've got burnin' in you, then you can help me
And in our time together, her memory will ever
Shine like golden embers in the night

I miss the old hymns, when she used to sing
The sparrows spread their mortal wings
Now they've all lighted with the silence of strings
Like notes on the pages, she breathed life into all things

If you could help me to share the trouble
That you've got burnin' in you, then you can help me
And in our time together, her memory will ever
Shine like golden embers in the night

Just like an old friend, reach out to me
Bathe me in the light of understanding

And try to help me to share the trouble
That you've got burnin' in you, then you can help me
And in our time together, her memory will ever
Shine like golden embers in the night
