VERSE 1.

I lost you on the river

You were rowing with your gun

And when the bottom was filled with holes

Your rowing was all done

Now, I sleep on half the bed

I leave a place for you

And staring through the moonlight

I dreamed that I had rescued you

Because we embraced, and we held the time

We didn’t have to try

We didn’t have to try 

CHORUS

Because old friends will stay old friends

Through distances and time

Old friends can mellow through the years

Like children and old wine

VERSE 2.

I saw you in a dream

You were waiting for a train

You woke me up and you made me cry

The disguise you wore it did you well

For you almost past me by

But we embraced and we held the time

We didn’t have to try

We didn’t have to try 

CHORUS

Because old friends will stay old friends

Through distances and time

Old friends can mellow through the years

Like children and old wine

BRIDGE

There’s a hunger in an empty heart

Without love and understanding

But a friend can always fill you up

With a gift that is never-ending

CHORUS

Because old friends can stay old friends

Through distances and time

Old friends can mellow through the years

Like children and old wine
