Someone I always can rely on
You can let bygones just be bygones
I can count on you
You're that one true friend

And I'm annoying when I'm drinking
But even when the moon is sinking
You can cheer me up
You never let me down

My dearest friend, please stay here by my side
Sing me a song to help me through the night
The darkest tower comes just before dawn
And we can face it together

My dearest friend, have a drink on me
Sing me a song; it can be out of key
You're a better friend than I'll ever be
And that's something I've got to treasure

You even listen to me nagging
About the wife, the job, the children
You never complain,
Just order another round

And even when I'm drunk and bragging
And I again fell off the wagon
You just pick me up
And put me right back on

My dearest friend, please stay here by my side
Sing me a song to help me through the night
The darkest tower comes just before dawn
And we can face it together

My dearest friend, have a drink on me
Sing me a song; it can be out of key
You're a better friend than I'll ever be
And that's something I've got to treasure

My dearest friend, please have a drink on me
Sing me a song; it can be out of key
You're a better friend than I'll ever be
And that's something I've got to treasure

My dearest friend, please stay here by my side
Sing me a song to help me through the night
The darkest tower comes just before dawn
And we can face it together
Yeah we can face it together
