A fellow baptize, he was always a good friend to me Told me the pain that he felt when he was a kid About 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 Felt like whole 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
