Old Friends
Not for the first time
I look back on all those years
Not for the last time names will ring in my ear
When there was just a gang of us
Storming the town by train and bus
A moment of thought this heart sends to old friends
Not for the first time I look back on my first love
Unable to speak or think or move hand in glove
But what of it now and where is he He who once meant so much to me
Because we are not, I can't pretend now old friends
I was told love should hold old friends
I was told love should hold od friends
But when you leave you will close the door behind you
Don't we always
And time won't make amends to old friends
Standing here with my arm around you life's moved on
And all its borderlines are being redrawn
The winter has come the roads are white
Everyone's home late tonight May we stay or will it depend as old friends
In the end still old friends
Understanding
You're here, but what if you weren'tWhat would have happened to me
That candle, unburnt, is history
One thing I guess this place would be a mess
For my standards at best are undemandingAnd that takes some understanding
Still here, but what if we weren't Where'd you think I would be (where would I be)
For love I have learned depends on geography
Fortune found us when all around us
Half the couples we knew were disbanding
And that needs your understanding
And do you know even when we disagree
And freedom holds out a hand to me
You know I would nver want to be without your company
And I mean that totallyWe have reached an understanding...
Understanding, understanding...
