Friend Out In The Madness
Words and Music by ~ Nanci Griffith

I am not a child, though you'll treat me as you've always seen me
You never saw the changes in a heart grown old and wise
Hey, it's good to see you smile, been so long between the pages
... wheels out on the highway seem to laugh between my lines
 
chorus
 
Do you still want to know?
Where does the love go when it dies?
Hey, I want you to know ... love never dies ...
it is sheltered here very safe inside and it's left you
with a friend out in the madness
 
And you say you love me still ...
How your soul does change and your heart still ponders ...
how I could grow fonder ... of a life out on my own
Hey I still sing the harmony
Have another wine and toast this madness
Howl out at your moon ... on my way home alone
 
repeat chorus:
