We've been friends since we were seventeen
I've waited patiently behind the scenes
I've always known my time would come
When all the rest just turn and run

So when he tells you that the fire is dying
Dial my number, turn to me
I'll be there for you to stop your crying
Face the music, turn to me

I understand that you have found someone
To hold you, soothe you when the day is done
Well I've heard talk he's not that strong
When times get tough, his heart moves on

So when he tells you that the fire is dying
Dial my number, turn to me
I'll be there for you to stop your crying
Face the music, turn to me

Send a signal, shine a light
Burn a message through the night
Keep on looking for a sign from high above you

Baby, time is on my side
Here I stand, arms open wide
Always know that there is someone there to love you

I've always known my time would come
When all the rest just turn and run

So when he tells you that the fire is dying
Dial my number, turn to me
I'll be there for you to stop your crying
Face the music, turn to me
