Two old friends of mine
I saw them only yesterday
They were there but I
Got the feeling they had gone away
Gone away from each other
But I was alone killing time
A stranger in the silence of their company
Two old friends of mine
Is this all life has left of you?
Who took the laughter, the times?
We said what we were gonna do
When we were grown and ready
To take on the world with a song
And now the tune is one
You can’t remember
Who lost the reason for being together?
Who says the money won’t go round?
Once it was love
And we’ll live on a shoestring
But they don’t give no mortgage
On a castle in the air
Two old friends of mine
A dripping tap
And a broken old chair
And if I read between the lines
Someone’s lonely, someone doesn’t care
If it’s all gone by tomorrow
For tomorrow’s been and gone
Like a bird that has no home
