The Coral - Reaching Out for a Friend

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Reaching out to find a friend
In a world where the troubles never seem to mend
I'm reaching out for a friend
People walking in the sun
Lost in fear or lost in love
When the rain falls down
It falls on everyone

{Chorus}
I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend
Yeah I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

{Verse 2}
Drawing circles in the sand
Trying hard to understand
How the dreams we hold
They slip right through our hands
Another day in another life
I see it all with my own eyes
When it all comes around
The truth outweighs a lie

{Chorus}
I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend
Yeah I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend

{Bridge}
Some people talk like they know everything
Some act like they just don't believe
Others they try and make you feel ashamed
But most don't practice what they preach

{Verse 3}
Reaching out to find a friend
In a world where the troubles never seem to end
Oh here I go again

{Chorus}
I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend
Yeah I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend
I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out for a friend
I'm reaching out for a friend

edit bio

The Coral was formed in 1996 in Liverpool by James Skelly and his brother, Ian, Paul Duffy, Lee Southall and Bill Ryder-Jones before being joined by Nick Power two years later.

The band’s Mercury Award-nominated debut was a huge critical hit in 2002, and its successor, Magic and Medicine achieved similar successes, with the two albums spawning well-known hit singles such as “Dreaming of You”, “Don’t Think You’re the First” and “Pass it On”.

The Coral have dropped out of the mainstream somewhat, although they’ve still had a few hits since, most notably “In the Morning”. Despite losing Ryder-Jones in 2008, followed by Southall prior to the making of their post-hiatus album Distance Inbetween, the band is still going strong now with former Zutons guitarist Paul Molloy and more acclaimed albums under their belt.
