Visit from a Friend (feat. Nick Ippolito) Video (MV)

Hello my friend
Where have you been
It's damn cold outside
Where's that sweater I lent you
Don't try to hide
The marks on your arms
I used to have the same ones
The same broken heart, too
You know it's gonna kill you, man, you tell me all the time
You swear to God you'll give it up, but we've all heard that line
I don't want to bury you and see your mother cry
Flowers on your grave each year passing by
Why you rushing out
Sit and stay a while
If you need a place to kick
You know I can't deny you
There's no better time than now
The next could be your last fix
What if no one is around
To pull you out of the abyss
I hate to see you lost, after all I got you high
For the first time, two decades ago, on an ordinary night
And why it's me that made it out, I cannot feign to know
But I know damn well, I don't deserve these gifts, I hold close
You knew that it would kill you man, you said it all the time
What could I have done differently, I ask myself sometimes
I watched your mother bury you, I held her as she cried
And she's out there now
Under cold black clouds
Leaving flowers where you lie
She's out there now
Under cold black clouds
With each year the passes by
Farewell my friend
I'll see you again
