I do relate to you in so many ways
But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days
You had to be strong at such a very young age
So won't you listen to me now
There's something I never told you
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
And you were right, so I'm thanking you
So won't you listen to me now
There's something I never told you
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
Had you never been my friend
I wouldn't be quite what you
I wouldn't be the man I am
Been lost in a strange world
October chill in that old dusty town
Halloween came, I was still feeling down
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
Maybe try the lost and found
