You've got a friend [James Taylor]

 
Molto banalmente, una dedica. La canzone è estremamente ovvia.


When your down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a freind.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, Spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter Spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

 
 

Certi momenti è meglio metterli giallo su nero, prima che vadano perduti. Un'altra testimonianza.

Magari è solo il senso opprimente di ansia da esami.
Magari mi sbaglio, a vedere tutto nero.
Magari è solo che i filosofi
mi stanno dando
alla testa.


Ma guarda.
Lei non ascolta.
Lei chiama quando non sa
chi chiamare.
Da lei non mi aspettavo, mai lo avrei aspettato
un "Come Stai?"
che si accontentasse di un banale
"Bene, grazie".
Dopo che ti sei comportata in modo così infantile
hai anche il coraggio
di usarmi.
Ed io
che mi lascio usare..
