Across The Pond Friend

I took a trip away from life all by myself
Not my style, but I was being someone else
The day arrived, a lonely walk as I find my seat upon the plane
Switched between some dull movies I couldn't stand
As we shake, I close my eyes, I grip the chair
And while it lands, my head expands, and I think it's gonna split in two
False alarm, I knew

In my dream, you came running to me
And then fall back into my arms
Wake up
Let's eat

Crowded trains, cement, and cats' eyes after dark
Who'd have thought a square bagel's where it would start?
I needed this from someone kind
But I never thought it would be you
You're my guide, my help, my hand into this town
And could you tell I really wanted you around? (across the pond)
And did you know how sweet you looked when we sang that song at Winnie's place?
I was doing it like May

In my dream you came running to me
And then fall back into my arms
Wake up
Let's eat

On our last night, we watched a film and had a cry
How could I be ready to say goodbye?
And just like that, you're in my mind, you're back into my arms again
My across-the-pond friend

In my dream you came running to me
And then fall back into my arms
Wake up
Let's eat
