hey kind friend
i don't know when i'll see you again
on a ferry boat bound to victoria
laying down to hide from the wind

big dipper hangin over the city
you know everything now is different for me
and it ain't no use in
explainin the scenery

i said
kind friend
help me forget where i been
kind friend
remember who i am

i was too late in spokane
so i caught a ride through the cascade range
i saw the sun die in olympia
running down on capital lake

now i ask you for some relief
it's one true root that you bring to me
it's 3 am
and it's good company

i said
hey kind friend
help me forget where i been
hey kind friend
help me remember who i am

hey kind friend
don't know if i'm gonna see you again
it's okay friend
it's okay friend

(it's so hard when they all have to face going away)

so i'll meet you in new orleans or i'll see you around
cause i don't know if it's worth coming down
hey i'm calling you
from a goldrush town

and i say
hey kind friend
help me forget where i've been
hey kind friend
help me remember who i am

hey kind friend
i don't know if i'm gonna see you again
it's ok friend
i'm ok friend

i said i'm ok friend
i'm ok friend

(see ya later)
