Dear Friends Lyrics by Elbow

The Best Of

2011

Dear friends
You are angels and drunks
You are Magi

Old friends
You stuck a pin in the map I was in
And this is a note from the roadside

Cuttin' the breeze of this Tennessee sundown
Came the sounds of the voices I know
I've been pondering trees
On the steeliest comedown
And now the moment I'm home

I've got bluster enough
For the sails of a clipper
And the truth never frays a good yarn
But it struck me to say while so far away
You are with me today
You are here are in my head, in my heart

Dear friends
You are angels and drunks
You are Magi

Old friends
You stuck a pin in the map I was in
And you are the stars I navigate home by
