Sometimes People

Sometimes People

There's a place called understanding
where only sometimes people go.
A place where hearts can go to mend
where only sometimes people know.

The ones you always can recall
they were there for you back then.
Even now when you are lonely
sometimes people come again.

With tender hearts and knowing ways
they take your hand in theirs.
They listen to what's on your mind
your worries and your cares.
 
They offer you no answers
no advice they try to give.
They're simply understanding
of the life you're trying to live.

Yet still those sometimes people
somehow they hold the key.
The sometimes friend you need sometimes
and the friend you long to be.
