Song For An Old Friend Lyrics

the garter snake passed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgrass

there was cold, clear water in a tall, clean glass

the sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted

I saw the condensation on your hand

I could feel the glaciers melting



and a warm, soft wind

covered up everything

on the day your love came screaming through me



you had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you

and seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you

you smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay

good old east rutherford three thousand miles away



I felt the warm surge blast my mind

coming in from behind

on the day your love came screaming through me



in the fresh light of day

I felt something falling away

on the day your love came screaming through me
