lyrics

I met an actor, guitar hid behind his door.
Lent it to me after taught me these three chords.

I met a climber ten steps down the convent hall.
Brushed teeth together, swapping stories by the bathroom stall.

Are you a friend of the heart?
Or a friend of the road?
Since you came in I’ve been aching to know.

I met a fighter who hugged me tighter than most,
warm as a fire burning a bit too close.

Are you a friend of the heart?
Or a friend of the road?
Since you came in I’ve been aching for a true friend of the bones.

Father told me, “In the city,
it’s naive to believe people you meet
will see you, reach out, and fit like a glove:
they’re busy running in the long run.
Search New York with a fine-toothed comb,
every heart and every road,
find what I found long ago:
You are your own friend of the bones.”
