Lyrics
Can you lend me what I need if I
say it won't be for long
just enough to stop me from goin'
back to where I am coming from
I'll do it for you
if you should turn one day
and ask if I've been that way
You know the dark side
where it gets hard to keep track
and you go missing for so long
but you always make it back
so tell me how
and I won't ask again
every traveller needs a friend
