Lyrics

I am a quiet man
I’m not prone to anger
I’ve lived for many years
For how long I can’t remember

But I am no simple man
God knows that I’ve wandered
I’ve forgotten how to laugh
Since I left you to burn away

I know your face, I know your face
I know your face, I know your face

Full and warm
In my arms
I was yours
But that time has gone
Oh careless love
You were my best friend, you were my best friend

The sky is turning black
I’m in need of an angel
And I’ve been for many years
In pursuit of a devil

Will I ever love again?
The pain you left says no
You will always be the girl
Forever young at your window

From there you wave to me
A ghostly bundle of memories

You are
Nothing more
Than a thought
But you helped me mold
My loveless heart
You were my best friend, you were my best friend
You were my best friend, you were my best friend

As the years grow longer
As I part from the time I had you
When I may pass your window
Will you still be waiting there for me?

I still
Know your smell
My sweet
Delgado
Oh burning rose
You were my best friend, you were my best friend
You were my best friend, you were my best friend
You were my best friend, you were my best friend
You were my best friend
