Strangers, Lovers, Friends

Strangers sit across from each other
Smile across to each other, reach across for each other
Strangers dance and stare at each other
Could they care for each other? Why do they bother?
He thinks he sees something in her he needs
She hopes she finds something in him she needs
Or they’ll stay strangers
Lovers, holdings hands with each other
Making plans for each other, ain’t they grand for each other
Lovers, they’re a part of each other
Soul and heart of each other, why do they bother?
You’ve done it all, so then what’s new
You’re so much him, he’s so much you and you’re lovers
Friends sitting here by each other
Afraid to stare at each other, we’re so fair with each other
Friends, we still speak to each other
Once a week to each other, why do we bother?
Too much too soon, too sure too wise
God bless us all, we’re so civilized and we’re still friends
Friends
