Phish - Friends Lyrics
Friends,
If the lord ever comes
descending from the skies in some fiery fashion
as so many say he will
You will not see me
but running for the hills
For if such a day should come to pass
this is no God come to save the human race,
but a big boat, like the ones our forefathers sailed
having made it across the great ocean to our shores
from outer space.
And friends
when that boat finally comes
to appear within our sight
We'll be born again
as we've been so many times all throughout the ages
when we find that we're not right,
and with darkness lifted from our eyes,
then we'll find what should come as no surprise…
We're on a big boat like the ones our forefathers sailed
headed across the great ocean from our shores to outer space

Phish Friends Comments
I like the tune. Think it should stay in rotation like my sweet one which I think was also a contribution from John in I'm right
shades of Keith Moon and Syd Barrett
I like to buy all my sundries at Fishman's new store in Maine.
Opening track!
yes. written by Syracuse native Mr. Jon Fishman!!!!
How can such a technically horrible singer sound so amazing?! Fishman songs captivate me everytime...
I agree with your sentiment. Regardless, I love to hear him sing. I dig this song too...
Because you are in shock that a "professional" band actually allows him to sing.
Jesse Rowden hes a big syd Barrett fan.
Your vids rule man!
Thanks Pete for the lyrics.
Friends,
If the lord ever comes
descending from the skies in some fiery fashion
as so many say he will
You will not see me
going joyously to greet him expecting my deliverance,
but running for the hills
For if such a day should come to pass
this is no God come to save the human race,
but a big boat
like the ones our forefathers sailed
having made it across the great ocean to our shores
from outer space.
And friends
when that boat finally comes
ascending from the depths of our imagination
to appear within our sight
We'll be born again
as we've been so many times all throughout the ages
when we find that we're not right,
and with darkness lifted from our eyes,
then we'll find what should come as no surprise...
We're on a big boat
like the ones our forefathers sailed
headed across the great ocean from our shores
to outer space

I was once at Alpine 2012 thinking about how the only way I would ever return to Christianity would be if Jesus would appear flying through a vortex to condemn me lol. Then Harry Hood came on and I lost my train of thought!
