From the recording Old Bottles and Bibles
Lyrics
9. Old Friends
The trail grows cold as time goes on
Old friends, drift apart and gone
Things get busy, everything to do
Old friends slip away from you
Chorus: Old friends, years come and gone / And every friend is like a song
Fills your heart with something new
Old friends, this song’s for you
Me and Tom, he was a true friend
After Vietnam, it was me and him
He believed in me; conquered all my fears / Now somewhere else; haven’t heard for years Chorus
Saskia was a friend of mine / We were lovers one lonely night / It’s cold outside; have some wine and stay / Now gone forever, I guess better this way Chorus
Is there a world for lovers and friends
Instead of boxes to label us in? / Old friends, are you there today? / Hello to you; come again my way Chorus
