These Are My Friends

lyrics

rain!
wash away,
spring has come.
wash away the pollen
take away, take away my pain!
the rain falls on the ground
making me found

washing the soil
as the plant starts to bend,
towards the coming light
gossip in the grain in my head!
sand falls from hands
teaching me by the sea

the sea calls to me!
teaching me,
for it knows what I don't know.
the sky weeps, and it heals my brain!
these are the things I turn to when I'm in pain and in joy
these are my friends

these are my friends
be kind to them
these are my friends
be kind to them
they are you friends, too.
they hold all

every river meets the sea
we all face upon the same sky
show me the fences in the heavens now

'beloved why do you cry', weeps the sky
don't you just know, just who you are?
oh the desert is wide
and the bird has her nest!
a fox has his hole
but where will we -- where will we?
where will I, where is the key?
where will we find a home?
where will I just lay my head?

oh these are my friends
look at them,
they are so wise.
these are my friends.
be kind to them, they are your friends, too.
they hold all

every river meets the sea
we all face upon the same sky!
oh show me the fences in the heavens now

oh, oh my heart
oh my lord
sing to the sea
sing to the sea
laugh with the sky
laugh with the sky
catch a breeze!

oh my hole
oh this hole
oh are we are all just these rolling stones

every river meets the sea
we all face upon the same sky
show me the fences in the heavens now
'beloved why do you weep', cries the Sky
don't you know you are a shooting star

oh, these are my friends
these are my friends
be kind to them
these are my friends
they are your friends
