VERSE 1.
I saw you in a dream
Your were waiting for a train
You woke me up and you made me cry
The disguise you wore it did you well
For you almost past me by
But, we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try

CHORUS
‘Cause old friends will stay old friends
Through distances and time
Old friends can mellow through the years
Like children and old wine

VERSE 2.
I lost you on the river
You were rowing with your gun
And when the bottom was filled with holes
Your rowing was all done
Now, I sleep on half the bed
I leave a place for you
And staring through the moonlight
I dream that I had rescued you
‘Cause we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
There’s a hunger in an empty heart
Without love and understanding
But a friend can always fill you up
With the gift that is never ending

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 2.
I lost you on the river
You were rowing with your gun
And when the bottom was filled with holes
Your rowing was all done
Now, I sleep on half the bed
I keep a place for you
And in the dark I still picture ways
I could have rescued you
But, we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try
