Rod Stewart - A Friend For Life

Through a smoke-filled glass on a desperate night When the sole of my shoe let's in rain When the heart's tired of running and the milk's gone sour Will your feelings still be the same? When the match won't light so the flames don't tremble And the years are condemning us, too I'll need a soulmate to hold me and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you When I think of life as a chance not taken Or as a compromise tinged with regret When the kids leave for breeding and the TV's king Will you tell me we're not done yet? Will you think of me as a distant island Or will you come with me to the moon? I'll need a soulmate to hold me and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith Keep me in coffee and so safe And I'll feed your cats and I'll paint walls And I'll be your one night stand Will you come with me in the certain knowledge That the catch is there's no catch at all? I'll need a soulmate to hold me and a friend for life And I'm hoping it might be you Yes, I'm certain it must be you
