that I''d heard about you
I couldn''t believe all the things
that I''d heard were true

and then you took me for a ride
I started on my downward slide
you wouldn''t believe all the measures
that I''ve been through
I should''ve believed
all the things that I''d were true

I put my coat as the time-bell rings
I give a shiver as the day begins

you put your spell on me
and I can''t shake you free
so let''s drink to absent friends

my insides are crying out as I walk alone
a body without a soul looking for a home

another hold in my expensive shoe
another shiver as the rain comes through

you put your spell on me
and I can''t shake you free
so let''s drink to absent friends
you put your spell on me
and I can''t shake you free
so let''s drink to absent friends

between the benches nd the swinging door
I''ve walked that route a million
times or more
so just remember, when you look away
I climb a mountain every single day

you put your spell on me
and I can''t shake you free
so let''s drink to absent friends
you put your spell on me
and I can''t shake you free
so let''s drink to absent friends
