Two old friends of mine I saw them only yesterday They where there but I Got the feeling they had gone away Gone away from each other But I was alone killing time A stranger in the silence of their company
Two old friends of mine Is this all life has left of you? Who took the laughter, the times? We said what we were gonna do When we were grown and ready To take on the world with a song And now the tune is one You can’t remember
Who lost the reason for being together? Who says the money won’t go round? Once it was love And we’ll live on a shoestring But they don’t give no mortgage On a castle in the air
Two old friends of mine A dripping tap And a broken old chair And if I read between the lines Someone’s lonely, someone doesn’t care If it’s all gone by tomorrow For tomorrow’s been and gone Like a bird that has no home
Two old friends of mine I saw them only yesterday They where there But I got the feeling They had gone away And I was alone Killing time A stranger in the silence of their company
Two old friends of mine Is this all life has left of you? Who took the laughter? Who took the times We said what we were going to do? When we were grown Grown and ready To take on the world, with a song And now the tune is one You dont remember
Who lost the reason For being together? Who says the money wont go round? For once it was love And well live on a shoestring But they dont give no mortgage On a castle in the air
Two old friends of mine A dripping tap And a broken old chair And if I read between the lines Someones lonely Someone doesnt care If its all gone by tomorrow For tomorrows been and gone Just like a bird That has no home
If I had words like a hammer If I had powers unreal Then I would tear down Megiddo And I would bring you songs of love And every child of tomorrow Safely in his bed could lie And hate would die of starvation
Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today
I’ll find an old man lonely In the autumn of his years I’ll find a young girl hoping To lose herself in love And to both I’d give a rainbow For neither side can make it on their own Young and old come together
Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today
I’ll find some magic morning I’ll take a boat out on the sea Maybe run before the west wind To bring you songs of love And every fear for tomorrow In my head could surely lie And you and I, we’d be together
Wish it was (I wish it was) Wish it was today it was Wish it was (wish it was) Wish it was today
