VERSE 1.
I saw you in a dream
Your 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

VERSE 2.
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 keep a place for you
And in the dark I still picture ways
I could have rescued you
But, we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try


REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3.
I know you don’t feel the same
Because I’ve been gone so long
I llok in your eyes and I feel the pain
Neither of us is that strong
Maybe we should have taken the time
To share more of our lives
It was something we owed to love
To help to survive


BRIDGE

REPEAT CHORUS
