The Listener
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

What in the world were you talking about
When I saw you yesterday
You said you don’t feel like you should
And your money’s no good
You even wanna give up playing

I hate to see a friend going on this way
When I know it’s just a bad day
But I will listen to you, sympathize with you
You know I’ll ride with you all day

I’ll try to analyze what that look in your eyes
Is trying to say to me
Don’t worry ‘bout the time you can keep me on the line
‘Cause I’m the listener, and you can talk to me

Things always seem to be worse than they are
See the horizon, it’s not very far

I might put a sign on my door that says
That the doctor is in today
You can be my patient, you can be my friend
It won’t matter either way

I’ll try to analyze that look in your eyes
And make it easier
Don’t worry ‘bout the time you can keep me on the line
‘Cause I’m the listener, and you can talk to me

Depend on me, trust in me, get high with me, connect with me,
Believe in me, lean on me, rely on me…….
