He fell on black days, he was always a good friend to me
Told me the pain that he felt when he was a kid
'Bout the way that his father sits strong at the table
But never said a single word to him

My friend's in danger now
My friend's in danger now

He'd sing all the songs, the ones fathers teach sons how to sing
He'd put food on the table and always left a place for me
The black hole in the sun that he wanted to come
Would never wash away the pain we feel

Think my friend's in danger now
My friend's in danger now

It's all a bad, bad, bad dream
Sometimes a bad, bad, bad dream
Could wake a good man from his sleep at night

My friend's in danger now
'Cause my friend's in danger now

My friend's in danger now
My friend's in danger now
