Lyrics
SOS
2003© Harken Music
I know where you?ve been
And I don?t care
Together we have tried
To pick up the pieces
And I?m still amazed
We made it out alive
You know I?m here
I?m the shoulder and I?m the ear
And I?ll carry that cross when it?s too much for you
Cause that?s what a friend would do
When the world fell down on me
You were miles away
I?d SOS that I?m lost at sea
I knew just what you?d say
You know I?m here
I?m the shoulder and I?m the ear
And I?ll carry that cross when it?s too much for you
Cause that?s what a friend would do
Well I sure could use a net
When I?m walking on this high wire
Or flying too close to the sun
How will you remember me,
When we?re old and grey?
Did I make you laugh?
Did I listen well?
Did I ease your pain?
You know I?m here
I?m the shoulder and I?m the ear
And I?ll carry that cross when it?s too much for you
Cause that?s what a friend would do
