Lovers and Friends

from Behind a Veil by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

I had a hell of a half of a year
The levee came down
The lifeboat appeared
Four people rowed up and pulled me ashore
Now I don’t think I’m God or the devil anymore

Chorus:
And that’s how it is with lovers and friends
Neither the bliss nor the trouble will end
And that’s how it is
And that’s how it is
And that’s how it is
With lovers and friends

Brought me to shelter and sat me down
Cooked up a good meal
And took off my crown
They laughed like children who play at the fair
I’d never felt so sweet
And I’d never been so scared

Chorus

Oh and sometimes they look angry
And I fear I’m falling backwards
But somehow when we take action
We’re free from the exact words

And that’s how it is
And that’s how it is
And that’s how it is
And that’s how it is
With lovers and friends
With lovers and friends
With lovers and friends
You got lovers and friends
