My Old Friend Lyrics

My old friend
Where are you now
My old friend
What will become of plans we'd agreed on
I'm still in need of a shoulder to lean on
Now

My old friend
Where are you now
My old friend
What are the chances we'd understand the language
The picture of words suffers where we hang it
Now

If you only had a second try
If you only had a moment more
If you were only by my side

God only knows the way it has to be
Just about to paint a masterpiece
On bended knee with laughs and pleas
For Christ

All alone in this old town
Tracing stones of the burial ground
A mist in the air and a halo around
The lights

My old friend
Where are you now
My old friend
