Weary Wings

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand 

and nothing,

 whoa, nothing is going right. 

Close your eyes and think of me 

and soon I will be there 

to brighten up even your darkest nights. 

 You just call out my name, 

and you know where ever I am 

I'll come running to see you again. 

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, 

all you have to do is call and I'll be there, 

yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.

Written by Carole King
