Old Friends

It's like when you're makin' conversation And you're tryin' not to scream You're tryin' not to tell 'em You don't care what they mean And you're really feelin' fragile And you really can't get home And you really feel abandoned But you wanna be alone Old friends They shine like diamonds Old friends You can always call Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em You know it's old friends, after all "And when the house is empty" "And the lights begin to fade" "And there's nothing to protect you" "Except the window shade" "And it's hard to put your finger" "On the thing that scares you most" "And you can't tell the difference" "Between an angel and a ghost" Old friends They shine like diamonds Old friends You can always call Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em You know it's old friends, after all Old friends They shine like diamonds Old friends You can always call Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em You know it's old friends, after all
