Old Friends - Everything But The Girl

not for the first time I looked back on all those years

not for the last time names will ring in my ears

When there was just a gang of us storming the town by train and bus

a moment of thought this heart sends to old friends

ii.

not for the first time i look back on my first love

unable to speak or think or move, hand in glove

But what of it now and where is he… he who once meant so much to me because we are not I cant pretend now old friends

I was told love should hold old friends

I was told love should hold old friends

but when you leave you will close the door behind you

don’t we always… time won’t make amends to old friends

iii.

standing here with my arm around you, life’s moved on and all its borderlines are being redrawn

the winter has come the roads are white

everyone’s home late tonight

may we stay or will it depend

as old friends

in the end, still old friends

o old friend… old…friends…o…yeah mmm… o year… o old friends
