I guess I’m going to keep on singing
It feels quite natural to me
I need to tell you how I see things
This is my only remedy

I haven’t always hit the right note
Or found the perfect melody
But for now
I’ll keep singing my friend

I used to think there’d be an answer
Under my footprints in the snow
Now only question marks are found there
Amongst the things we’ll never know

I wish I’d made a greater effort
I’ve been as lazy as a leaf
But for now
I’ll keep singing my friend
I’ll keep singing my friend

So hijack the chorus
Wake them with a start
Make them sing your sad and lonely songs

March them to glory
Down the ancient road
Heaven knows how far there is to go

I saw the ghost of Dostoevsky
Stare through the windows of my soul
I felt a shiver run right through me
And in a second I was old

It’s funny how you never notice
Who’s coming till they say hello
But for now
I’ll keep singing my friend
I’ll keep singing my friend
I’ll keep singing my friend
I’ll keep singing my friend
