Confidante (McCartney Paul)

You used to be my confidante My underneath-the-staircase friend But I fell out of love with you And brought our romance to an end I played with you throughout the day And told you every secret thought Unlike my other so-called friends You stood beside me as I fought In your reflected glory I Could dream of shining far off lands Where serpents turn to bits of string And play like kittens in my hand In our imaginary world Where butterflies were on the woods And stomp around the forests Chanting long lost anthems Long lost anthems You used to be my confidante My underneath-the-staircase friend But I fell out of love with you And brought our romance to an end I played with you throughout the day And told you every secret thought Unlike my other so-called friends You stood beside me as I fought You stood beside me as I fought You used to be my confidante
