Tychicus is one of Paul's companions in the New Testament. He is mentioned five times (Acts 20:4; Colossians 4:7; Ephesians 6:21; 2 Timothy 4:12; Titus 3:12).
In both Ephesians and Colossians, Paul indicates that he is sending Tychicus to the Christians to whom he is writing, in order to encourage them.
The Catholic Encyclopedia notes that different traditions make him out to be the Bishop of Colophon, Chalcedon or Neapolis in Cyprus.
Hippolytus of Rome lists Tychicus as one of the seventy disciples. His feast is kept on 29 April.
When I dont call and you wait
I guess it seems Im abominal
Then Im late and I sleep in
I feel like a criminal
Late at night, were in bed
I can be like a dog
The heatings off, and youre warm
I dont feel like catching a cold
In any case, you dont care
You dont feel like rubbing it in
When Im outside in the pouring rain
I know youll let me in
I give you all that I got
You never have to ask
You give me love and I know that its
The best Ill ever have, and thats why
Hey my babe
I cant sleep when youre not in town
Hope that you know
I get the shakes when youre not around
In my window
You see a sad pathetic clown
I want you to know
I get the shakes when youre not around
Now its you and its me
I cant believe weve been alone
Spread apart sharing laughs and tears
Over the telephone
Said and done, set in stone,
Youve given me another chance
A thousand miles or one inch
