John - Yellow Ostrich

John, you were right

I should have listened to you that night, darlin'

You’re a friend of mine

You’re a friend of mine

But how does that go

You don’t enunciate when you’re stoned, darlin'

Little light of mine

Little light of mine

Just give me some sort of substance

Given that we

Have friended up since we were 13, darlin'

Shouldn’t i know

Where your mind goes

It blows in the wind, debating

How much to share with

Wha''s the other choice?

Trying to save your voice?

Just give me some sort of substance

John, you were right

One hundred days I’d trade for that night, darlin'

Not that I would say a word of it today

Why’s it so hard to say what

Lives in in our heart?

It’s a trait I share

Quiet everywhere
