Intro: Verse: I swear I heard a bird calling high in the chestnut trees The sun was so bright, that bird I couldn’t see No matter where I stood I couldn’t see beak or wing Just burning, blinding leaves, still and silent trees Were you with me then my friend? Are you with me now? Were you with me then my friend? Are you with me now? Verse: When that cement truck, the mixer turning slow Drove right past me dripping in the road That swollen body spinning in circles I stopped and watched it roll, roll and groan Were you with me then my friend? Are you with me now? Were you with me then my friend? Are you with me now? Verse: When I swam alone that night, late summer dusk The air so warm and still, the water wide and dark Something brushed against me, I splashed and kicked in fright Such cold hands upon me, underwater vines Were you with me then my friend? Are you with me now? Were you with me then my friend? Are you with me now? OUTRO: x5
