Old Friends

[Verse 1]

It's like when you're making conversation

And you're trying not to scream

And you're trying not to tell 'em

That you don't care what they mean

And you're really feeling fragile

And you really can't get home

And you really feel abandoned

But you want to be alone

[Chorus]

Old friends, they shine like diamonds

Old friends, you can always call

Old friends, Lord, you can't buy 'em

You know it's old friends after all

[Verse 2]

And when the house is empty

And the light begins to fade

And there's nothing to protect you

Except the window shade

And it's hard to put your finger

On the thing that scares you most

And you can't tell the difference

Between an angel and a ghost

[Chorus]

Old friends, they shine like diamonds

Old friends, you can always call

Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em

You know it's old friends after all

Yes, it's old friends, they shine like diamonds

Old friends, you can always call

Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em

You know it's old friends after all
