Bob Mould Gauze Of Friendship Lyrics

Gauze Of Friendship Lyrics

You think you love him

Or someone like him

He reminds you of a boy

You dated once or twice



Just about the same size

Just about the same eyes

The only difference being

The cadence in his voice



So much in common

Moving out of caption

Or silky like the spider's web

So fragile in the wind



And the chains that bind us

Serving to remind us

Anchors hold the ships at bay

When high tides rush in



Ah now, maybe your tattoo

Or a name lit in the tile

I guess you think he's staying for a while

Or something to remember



A feign and distant smile

I bet you plan on staying for a while

I guess you plan on staying for a while

I guess you plan on staying for a while



It's kinda frantic

We all long to be romantic

You try to give yourself away

And hope he never leaves



But nothing matters

When heart goes pitter-patter

No sense of unconditioned

It's me who you deceived



Ah yeah, a window with a view

A present, past and future

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew



And mothers without fathers

To help install the colors

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew

Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew



It's kinda funny

Today it might turn sunny

The birds are coming back

From winter flights away



And if you miss them

I'll be sure to wish them

A welcome back from both of us

And hope that they might stay
