Old Friend

OLD FRIEND


Where are you now old friend
You used to come and visit every Spring
We’d laugh about the way we were
And talk until the night was just another day

But now the leaves are turning gold
I lit a backyard fire, not just for the cold
I threw in everything that hadn’t sold

I put up a sign for sale
Figured you could be dead
Or just stuck in jail

So come on now old friend
Won’t you show up now and then
We’ll put on our old fur coats
And kick up through these autumn leaves
Oh oh oh


That old fire’s still burning
Won’t you come and stay
Until this blue world has stopped turning

Where are you now old friend
Won’t you visit me again
Come pick me up and dance me to the end
