You know it's old friends after all
And you can't tell the difference
And you really feel abandoned
Between an angel and a ghost

Old friends, you can always call
You don't care what they mean
Old friends, they shine like diamonds
On the thing that scares you most

You know it's old friends after all
But you want to be alone
And you're really feeling fragile
Old friends, you can always call
Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em
And there's nothing to protect you
And the lights begin to fade

And it's hard to put your finger
Except the window shade
And you really can't get home

Old friends, they shine like diamonds
And you're trying not to tell 'em
Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em
And when the house is empty
