Where can I rest, if sometime I need to?
I'm not saying I need to, but still just the same.
I'd like to believe there's a shoulder to cry on.
When I do get weary of fighting the tide.
And somehow I think one can't just get by on
Closing one eyes and keeping it inside.

A friend you can love and rely on,
When everything's
