Old friend, what you doing out there?

Come inside, sit yourself on that chair

It's been a long time since the last time

Of many burdens have passed through our hands

Night into day and day into night

Do you know what I mean?

I'm trying to say, I'm sorry

You're the star in the sea

You're not just anybody

There's a light in your eye

That I can't seem to reach

Overhead in the sky

Is it shining on me?

Is it shining on me?

I always knew that you would not hang around

You and me were like the thieves of the town

Too many girlfriends, but not enough love

Too many late nights, and not enough sleep

Strung out and wasted, no good, in shape for

The life we tasted there on the table

Do you know what I mean?

I'm trying to say, I'm sorry

You're the star in the sea

You're not just anybody

There's a light in your eye

That I can't seem to reach

Overhead in the sky

Is it shining on me?

We have hope in our hearts and deeds in our head

But most of the time, we stay in our bed

If you got out there, you're just up north

It's a calm, cool world outside that door
