Was A Friend

Dm Furry kind of greeting, not exactly hostile Dm Not exactly facing, not exactly turning away Dm Not exactly frowning, not exactly smiling Dm Lurking by the door Bm Without a sign of wanting to move Gm Dm Though hardly friendly, not an angry gesture Bm Did it make. Just quite unnerving Gm It's been a long time Dm I almost forgot were we buried the hatchet Dm "Bin a long time no see", (pidgin English Dm Native to none). After several silences Dm A cautious head nod. This could take forever Bm Did it want to come for a dig? It did Gm Dm Not answer. I was feeling restless at the door Bm Gm Ashamed of my fears. Where WAS the hatchet? Dm Suddenly was gone. I woke up Dm Feeling stupid. No-one else awake Dm Though dawn was only minutes away Dm Quietly I rose to fill the morning pee pot Dm What a silly dream Bm Not like what really would have occurred Gm Old wounds are healing Dm Faded scars are painless – just an itch Bm We are forgiven Gm It's been a long time
