lyrics

8. To Call You Friend

Well today was another dark day
i’m here in paradise but still I feel like hell
Don’t mention my medication
Please don’t tell them that I’m unwell
See I lost my spark somehow I lost my mojo
And I miss my brother and all of my friends
I thought I’d find peace as I got older
But it feels like it just never ends

So take care of the ones you love
And be a brother until the end
Take care of the ones you love
Let it be a blessing to call you friend

In our waistcoats and old cloth caps
We looked like two gypsy boys
Finding solace in the arms of music
From the demons and all of the noise
To the tribes of the north you were the wizard
With your magic charm and your long elfin hands
The breath and the beat and the pounding of feet
And the music of mythical lands

So take care of the ones you love
And be a sister until the end
Take care of the ones you love
Let it be a blessing to call you friend

I want you to know you were never a failure
And you’ll always be a hero to me
For your heart was as big as the ocean
You were a saint for the cause of living free
I remember the last time we met
There was a feeling of mutual love
As the waves washed over our bodies
And the clouds rolled by up above

So take care of the ones you love
And be a brother until the end
Take care of the ones you love
Let it be a blessing to call you friend
A blessing to call you friend
For it was a blessing to call you friend.

about

Jacob & Drinkwater London, UK

On tour in UK April/May '22.

Jacob & Drinkwater have been called ‘stand out new Folk’ by BBC6 Music and ‘inventive and thrilling’ by R2 Magazine. Jacob's sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Drinkwater's nimbly rhythmic double bass; the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil. ... more
