In Em
1:
My friend is ill
Eyes are wet with crying
heart's aching all the time
shivers deep inside my mind
How can I tell you how much I feel
How can I say the whole world is real
that all this sky of blue
and all this grass of green
when my friend is ill
2:
Night follows day
Full with grief and pain
All the curtains are pulled down -
I cannot see sun shining now
Sun that warmed up so many many hearts
now seems to be deriding us
innocent in joy
ignorant of plight
and I turn off the light
Coda 1:
Night follows day
Full with grief and pain
And you fill down
But I'll be around
Coda 2:
Day follows night
Full with grief and plight
And you're feeling bad
I'll be with you my friend
Oh o-o-oo ooh ...

absolutely different people, even ... if it's the same person *>
A man on a street will never understand the feelings of a man in a bed in a
hospital before a surgery, until he himself is there.
