Lyrics:

...(Lyrically Accurate! / Only on Lyric Wiki!)...

Time... oh take some time
Oh if you wouldn't mind just a minute or two
'Cause time done weighin' on my mind baby
Blinded my eyes baby, not knowin' what to do

[Chorus]
Alone I've done held the hand of sorrow
Feelin' I'm hangin' from the gallows
Lord won't ya please color my sky one time blue
When life left town, and run me through, yeah
Oh baby, I'm just glad I found a friend,
A friend in you ....(oh yeah)

Now listen... I tried... Lo', how I done tried
Oh, not to break down when it was goodbye
An' I say, no one said it was gonna be easy
I found out that ain't no damn lie

[Chorus] ....(yeah thanks brotha')

Alone I've done held the hand of sorrow
Feelin' I'm hangin' from the gallows
Lord won't ya please color my sky one time blue
When life left town, oh baby an' run me through
Oh baby yeah, I'm just glad I found a friend,
Friend in you... A friend in you, yeah, oh...
Friend in you, yeah... A friend in you, yeah.
Friend in you, baby you...
A friend in you, yeah, oh yeah...
A friend in you, baby, oh yeah
-(Shit, a friend, in you)-
(Ohh-ahh-ohh-ohh: to fade)
