FRIEND TO FRIEND

Well friend, I'll tell you:

Life for me hasn't been a mansion

It's had broken windows in it,

And parties from neighbors,

And an unattending butler,

And places with no wallpaper,

Empty rooms.

But all the time

I'm still decorating

And reaching the top of the stairs,

And still I decorate,

And sometimes I run out of ideas

Where there hasn't been any furniture.

So, friend, dont stop.

Dont return what you've bought.

Because you'll find it kind of hard

Dont you stop on those stairs,

For I'm still paintng, honey,

I'm still decorating,

And life for me hasn't been a mansion.
