was a friend - robert wyatt lyrics

Loading...

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.
