Maybe I called you over, maybe it came from you A kind of madness, brought on by the rain Maybe I took for granted our talent to be immune From our own sadness, just a game we played You cursed us both with tears, but desperate years do end And I can be a good friend, I can be a joker But you can choke me up now baby, with a single glance And if I had my way, I'd embrace the world and lay us both at your feet And when I'm being crazy Singing the saddest songs, you've ever heard Waking at dawn spilling words and fevered dreams Oh will you, will you, will you, will you…comfort me? Someone I don't care to mention told me once I was meant To be parted from all I would love So with the best intentions, try to hold on to what I can But man, what a farce, I have lost who I was This penance serves me well, now only time will tell If I can be your good friend Sure I can be a joker But you can choke me up now, baby With a single glance And if I have my way I'll embrace the world and lay it all at your feet And when sometimes I am crazy I sing the saddest song you ever heard I wake at dawn spilling words from bitter dreams Then will you, will you, will you, will you…comfort me? Cursed us both with tears, but when this year does end I want to be your good friend, want to be your joker Want to choke you up now, baby, with a single glance And if I had my way, I'd embrace the world Lay us both at your feet And when I'm being crazy Singing the saddest songs you've heard Waking at dawn spilling words and fevered dreams Oh will you, will you, will you, will you…comfort me?
