In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew
before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me
and you reminded me
That the world is not my play ground
There are other things that matter
And when a simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know
was upside down
And now the world and me
I know you carry me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations
look like you and I
Just like the patterns
in the big sky We could be lost
we could refuse to try
But we made it through
in the dark night
Would those lucky
guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of
my funny friend and me
I'm not as clever as
I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different
you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain but
I was really never sure
But you stayed and you
called my name
When others would have walked
out on a lousy game
And you could've made it through
But your funny friend and me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations
look like you and I
That tiny planet in a bigger guy
I don't know whether
I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns
in the big sky
We'll be together till
the end is nigh
Don't know the answer
or the reason why
We'll stick together
till the day we die
If I had to do this
all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
When the angels sing that
that unlikely blend
Are those two funny friends
That's us
