Nanci Griffith - Friend Out In the Madness Lyrics

I am not a child, though you'll treat me as you've always seen me
You never saw the changes in a heart grown old and wise
Hey, it's good to see you smile, it's been so long between the pages
Wheels out on the highway seem to laugh between my lines

Do you still want to know?
Where does the love go when it dies?
Hey, I want you to know
That love never dies, it is sheltered here very safe inside
And it's left you with a friend out in the madness

And you say you love me still
How your soul does change and your heart still ponders
How I could grow fonder of a life out on my own

I still sing the harmony
I'll have another wine and toast this madness
I'll howl at your moon on my way home alone

Do you still want to know?
Where does the love go when it dies?
Hey, I want you to know
That love never dies, it is sheltered here very safe inside
And it's left you with a friend out in the madness

Do you still want to know?
Where does the love go when it dies?
Hey, I want you to know
That love never dies, it is sheltered here very safe inside
And it's left you with a friend out in the madness
