Friend

Darshan Jay Mistry 1998 (India)

Friend...
My friend...
Why have you gone
So far away

I'm old...
Old and frail...
I am begging you
Please stay

Hold...
Hold my hands...
You have always been
By my side

Dry...
Dried my tears...
Every single time
I have cried

Come...
Come back...
I have to tell you
What I have seen

Where...
Where are you...
I have missed you
Where have you been

Oh, friend...
Blessed friend...
What had I done
To deserve this

Stop...
I must stop...
You must have already heard
All of this

Thanks...
Thank you...
For coming back
To me

Friend...
