Lazy Friends & Promises - 17 Hippies

We didn’t mean to go to sea, my darling

We just drifted away — come what might

We let our boat sail on a secret sea of dreams, winds blowing

Set our sails, and let the world fly by

How can this be over?

Say it ain’t so!

A promise is a lazy friend, they say

Easily given — so hard to keep

Remember me when your ship leaves the safety of the harbour

When you ride the waves on distant shores

And when you lie awake

Turning over and over

Say it ain’t so!

What a way to waste away, my darling

Our voyage is over — my breath spent

What’s left: snow falling softly by my window

Blotting out the world — as time stands still

Little by little
