Phil Collins
For A Friend

When I saw him last
he had that look in his eyes
I said, "Do you need to talk?"
he said, "No."
So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while -
he began to speak, then he started to cry

You know some things are best left unspoken
and some things just never work out
and sometimes, seems you try and you try and whatever you do
There's a fix that you're in, and you just can't get out
he said, "I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on"

Though I didn't know what
I knew that something was wrong
but he still had his pride
he'd tell me in time
Well this feeling inside
kept eating at me
I was losing a friend, and I had to know why

When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news
so I rushed to be by his side
and we said goodbye for the last time
I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye
he whispered, "I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on."

We were always laughing
I just remember laughing, mama
We were always laughing

Oh I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on

Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear
we can see the deceit, we see the lies
So I asked myself, over and over, and over again
What did they know? What did they hide?
Fools, leading the innocent blindly
Fools, turning away

And I know that
when I think of my friend with that look in his eyes
and if they told the truth, he might be here today
I need your help, I need it now
Just give me the strength to go on, on

I remember the laughing
We were always laughing

Oh no - it's just strength we need now
Just the strength to go on...


Mirror lyrics:

Just the strength to go on...
Oh no - it's just strength we need now

We were always laughing
I remember the laughing

Just give me the strength to go on, on
I need your help, I need it now
and if they told the truth, he might be here today
when I think of my friend with that look in his eyes
And I know that

Fools, turning away
Fools, leading the innocent blindly
What did they know? What did they hide?
So I asked myself, over and over, and over again
we can see the deceit, we see the lies
Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear

Give me the strength to go on
Oh I need your help, I need it now

We were always laughing
I just remember laughing, mama
We were always laughing

Give me the strength to go on."
he whispered, "I need your help, I need it now
I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye
and we said goodbye for the last time
so I rushed to be by his side
When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news

I was losing a friend, and I had to know why
kept eating at me
Well this feeling inside
he'd tell me in time
but he still had his pride
I knew that something was wrong
Though I didn't know what

Give me the strength to go on"

So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while -
he said, "No."
I said, "Do you need to talk?"
he had that look in his eyes
When I saw him last

not guilty

blue sky night

end of my rope

hell raisin' beer drinkin'

why can't we all just get a long neck

the other side

forever scarred

you don't tell me everything

coming up roses

everyday

answer to my prayer

once in a lifetime

the crash

the other side of me

closer to heaven

black horsemen

fallen

blessed are they

the switch

ain't got no money
