I found new friends the day you left me you never told me you`d be back
New friends so kind to one so lonely my friend the bottle my friend the glass
They kept me going when I had to go take you back I wish you wouldn`t ask
They now mean more to me than you do my friend the bottle my friend the glass
To ease my mind they give me blindness so I can see into the past
Sometimes I think they`re killing me with kindness
My frind the bottle my friend the glass

While you were gone I learned to need them give them up that`s just too much to ask
By now you too might like to meet them my friend the bottle my friend the glass
My frind the bottle my friend the glass
