I found new friends the day you left me You never told me you'd be back New friends so kind to one so lonely My friend the bottle, my friend the glass. They kept me going when I had to go Take you back, I wish you wouldn't ask They now mean more to me than you do My friend the bottle, my friend the glass. To ease my mind they give me blindness So I can see into the past Sometimes I think they're killing me with kindness My frind the bottle, my friend the glass. While you were gone I learned to need them Give them up, that's just too much to ask By now you too might like to meet them My friend the bottle, my friend the glass. My frind the bottle, my friend the glass...
