about

Based on a poem by Anthony Jack. Another version live on Takoma 6 string at www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUBBqZBHeWs&t=4403s

lyrics

A friend I had was good to me
A friend I had was just like me
A friend I had
Walked tall, walked strong, could do no wrong
Till the life he saw made no sense
No sense

Didn't like what he could see
And all that responsibility
He turned to drugs for his peace
For release - a junkie he became
No face
No name

A friend I had.

A friend I had he died today
A friend I had

Slipped away.

A friend I had was good to me
A friend I had
Just like me

Just like me
