Means To An End Lyrics - Steve Winwood

Well, you told me you were sorry, when I needed your advice 

And I was too confused to see the meaning 

Like peter, you disowned me with a voice as cold as ice 

And before the fire died and they were leaving 

I'm a means to an end and everybody's friend 

To a richman, poorman, beggar man or thief 

From my heart I send a messenger to bend 

And take your mind from agony and grief 

Oh, sweet silence without kings and queens 

No one here has ever reached your centre 

Better to be quiet than to speak without a thought 

Or you may lose the meaning of your venture
