He's a quiet man," that's all she said
   And he's a thoughtful man
   It's just he likes to keep his thoughts up in his head
   And we finally meet, and she tries to draw him out a bit
   She says "He's writing something,
   Hey now, why don't you talk about it?"
   And he doesn't make a sound
   He's just staring at his coffee
   And I know there's all this beauty
   And this greatness she'll defend
   But I think it's in my friend
   I have a friend in a bright and distant town
   She's found a common balance
   Where you do your work, and you do your love
   And they pay you, and praise your many talents
   Well I'm passing through, and we know we won't sleep
   She laughs, puts up the tea
   She says "You know I think you remember every part of me."
   And the water starts to boil
   And if I had a camera
   Showing all the light we give
   And showing where the light extends
   I'd give it to my friends
   Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness
   And I like the whole truth
   But there are nights I only need forgiveness
   Sometimes they say "I don't know who you are
   But let me walk with you some"
   And I say "I am alone, that's all
   You can't save me from all the wrong I've done."
   But they're waiting just the same
   With their flashlights and their semaphores
   And I'll act like I have faith and like that faith never ends
   But I really just have friends
