Sting - My Funny Friend And Me Lyrics
In the quiet time of eveningWhen the stars assume their patternsAnd the day has made his journeyAnd we wondered just what happenedTo the life we knew before the world changedWhen not a thing I held was trueBut you were kind to me and you reminded meThat the world is not my playgroundThere are other things that matterAnd when a simple needs protecting (*see below)My illusions all would shatterBut you stayed in my cornerThe only world I know was upside downAnd now the world and me, I know you carry meYou see the patterns in the big skyThose constellations look like you and IJust like the patterns in the big skyWe could be lost we could refuse to tryBut we made it through in the dark nightWould those lucky guys turn out to beBut that unusual blend of my funny friend and meI'm not as clever as I thought I wasI'm not the boy I used to be becauseYou showed me something different, you showed me something pureI always seemed so certain but I was really never sureBut you stayed and you called my nameWhen others would have walked out on a lousy gameAnd you could've made it throughBut your funny friend and meYou see the patterns in the big skyThose constellations look like you and IThat tiny planet in a bigger guyI don't know whether I should laugh or cryJust like the patterns in the big skyWe'll be together till the end is nighDon't know the answer or the reason whyWe'll stick together till the day we dieIf I had to do this all a second timeI won't complain or make a fussWhen the angels sing that that unlikely blendAre those two funny friendsThat's us
