Two old friends of mine I saw them only yesterday They where 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
