MATTHEWS’ SOUTHERN COMFORT "Thoughts For A Friend" [intro]                                  [Verse 1] Each day he lived he just grew younger And where he looked he’d never been The nights were more an endless wonder Each day the most he’d ever seen [Verse 2] His mild approach was more a way of life His way of living just a ball And scarcely did he wonder was he safe It never bothered him at all [interlude]                                      [verse 3] At times appreciation deafened him Those nights he’d smile and not believe And when the lights were going up on him Each step he couldn’t quite conceive [verse 4] And each day I wander down along the street Alone with thoughts about a friend So helpless never looking up to see Each life we never can defend
