My friend is ill

Lyrics and music by Dmitry Gorodnichy

<* A person on a street and person undertaking a surgery are two absolutely different people, even ... if it's the same person *> <* A man on a street will never understand the feelings of a man in a bed in a hospital before a surgery, until he himself is there *>

Recording: with Masahiko Komatsu, Also available: sang by Joni Gill, with piano by Andre G.

In Em 1: My friend is ill Eyes are wet with crying heart's aching all the time shivers deep inside my mind How can I tell you how much I feel How can I say the whole world is real that all this sky of blue and all this grass of green when my friend is ill 2: Night follows day Full with grief and pain All the curtains are pulled down - I cannot see sun shining now Sun that warmed up so many many hearts now seems to be deriding us innocent in joy ignorant of plight and I turn off the light Coda 1: Night follows day Full with grief and pain And you fill down But I'll be around Coda 2: Day follows night Full with grief and plight And you're feeling bad I'll be with you my friend Oh o-o-oo ooh ...
