Everything But The Girl Old Friends lyrics

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
'Cause we are not, I can't pretend
Now old friends

I was told love should hold old friends

I was told love should hold old 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

Oh, old friends
Old friends
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Oh, old friends
