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

And 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 going to 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
