Gauze Of Friendship Lyrics - Body Of Song - Bob Mould

You think you love him 

Or someone like him 

He reminds you of a boy 

You dated once or twice 

Just about the same size 

Just about the same eyes 

The only difference being 

The cadence in his voice 

So much in common 

Moving out of caption 

Or silky like the spider's web 

So fragile in the wind 

And the chains that bind us 

Serving to remind us 

Anchors hold the ships at bay 

When high tides rush in 

Ah now, maybe your tattoo 

Or a name lit in the tile 

I guess you think he's staying for a while 

Or something to remember 

A feign and distant smile 

I bet you plan on staying for a while 

I guess you plan on staying for a while 

I guess you plan on staying for a while 

It's kinda frantic 

We all long to be romantic 

You try to give yourself away 

And hope he never leaves 

But nothing matters 

When heart goes pitter-patter 

No sense of unconditioned 

It's me who you deceived 

Ah yeah, a window with a view 

A present, past and future 

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew 

And mothers without fathers 

To help install the colors 

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew 

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew 

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew 

It's kinda funny 

Today it might turn sunny 

The birds are coming back 

From winter flights away 

And if you miss them 

I'll be sure to wish them 

A welcome back from both of us 

And hope that they might stay
