Befriend Me

about

This song was written on an plane, leaving La Guardia airport in New York in 1994. It is a song of gratitude to a group of women : Nedra Johnson, Bob, Rosie, French Fry, Elija C and the wonderful Nadia Rosado/Folkes. These last three now rest in eternal peace. Blessed be.

lyrics

Befriend me
Give me your hearts and I'll show you mine
You showed me the love of friends though you didn't know me
Just the laughter in my eyes
When you wear your smile

Rolling off my skin
As I watch you take me in
I bump and start cause it's new to me
Can't help but find my way

Befriend me
As you open your door to me
A book to read and a place to sleep
Something to eat and someone to talk to
As we sing, dance and pray together
(it) makes me think hard

Befriend me
As you lie beside me
And hold me close on the dance floor
Can't help but feel my feelings rise
Unfolding your story between street lamps and kisses
I want to say more but it keeps me warm inside

Befriend me
Kiss me goodbye I don't want to let go
With time so short and sweet
So powerful and so wise
I'm changed forever now
Can you feel my love do you know
You are here with me
When I close my eyes
