about

lyriclly, inspired by 'Old Friends/Bookends' by Paul Simon
musically it was inspired by Bowie's "Is There Life On Mars?'

We split the vocals by verse. An approach to the singing we we would reprise on Syzygy on the track 'From Heart To Hand'

lyrics

For The Old Friends

So tell the truth now, do you still feel were winning?
The Old Friends feeling, like no sees them sitting,
out in the cold night, no place to call their own

Again, in the Darkness of Night
When will it turn out all right,
for the Old Friends

When morning comes now, will they still move to answer,
the call of living, or will they stop and ask for,
a little caring, a helping hand to guide

Their way, in the course of the day
Seems its the least we can say
Help is at hand, from your sons, and your daughters, again

We all get older, do you still feel so carefree
When they go walking, out from their cold beginnings
Their clothes askew, they still want to be living

On, in the course of their lives
Slow, still theres light in their eyes for the Sun
still they go on, Dawn after Dawn

For they're Old Friends
