Old Friends

It's like when you're makin' conversation

And you're tryin' not to scream

You're tryin' not to tell 'em

You don't care what they mean

And you're really feelin' fragile

And you really can't get home

And you really feel abandoned

But you wanna be alone

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

"And when the house is empty"

"And the lights begin 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"

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

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
