Was A Friend

Lyricist：Robert Wyatt Ellidge, Hugh Colin Hopper

Furry kind of greeting
Not exactly hostile
Not exactly facing
Not exactly turning away

Not exactly frowning
Not exactly smiling
Lurking by the door

Without a sign
Of wanting to move
Though hardly friendly
Not an angry gesture

Did it make
Just quite unnerving
It's been a long time

I almost forgot
Were we buried the hatchet
Bin a long time no see
(Pidgin English native to none)

After several silences
A cautious head nod
This could take forever
Did it want to come for a dig?

It did

Not answer, I was feeling
Restless at the door
Ashamed of my fears
Where was the hatchet?

Suddenly was gone
I woke up
Feeling stupid
No one else awake

Though dawn was only
Minutes away
Quietly I rose
To fill the morning pee pot

What a silly dream
Not like what really
Would have occurred
Old wounds are healing

Faded scars are painless
Just an itch
We are forgiven
It's been a long time
