Story behind the song

Just a simple song, offering friendship to the people in one's life who may need it.

Lyrics

If You Need A Friend


It's so hard to trust, so hard to trust
We scrutinise intentions, is it tenderness or lust
It's so hard to know, so hard to know
If someone's caring spirit is a pose about to go

Chorus; But if you need a friend
        Who'll make you feel at ease
        I'll talk and share a coffee with you
        Any time you please
        If you need a friend
        Who doesn't want to take
        I'll always do my best to soothe
        Wherever you may ache.

It's so hard to break, so hard to break
Away from those who've hurt us with our foolish pride at stake
It's so hard to see, so hard to see
How feelings are ephemeral and they feed our vanity
Chorus

It's so hard to win, so hard to win
When we've let somebody get right under our skin
It's so hard to let, so hard to let
Go of something precious which we never could forget.
Chorus
