Old Friends

It's like when you're makin' conversation
And you're tryin' not to scream
You're tryin' not to tell 'em
You don't care what they mean
And you're really feelin' fragile
And you really can't get home
And you really feel abandoned
But you wanna be alone

Old friends
They shine like diamonds
Old friends
You can always call
Old friends
Lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends, after all

"And when the house is empty"
"And the lights begin to fade"
"And there's nothing to protect you"
"Except the window shade"
"And it's hard to put your finger"
"On the thing that scares you most"
"And you can't tell the difference"
"Between an angel and a ghost"

Old friends
They shine like diamonds
Old friends
You can always call
Old friends
Lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends, after all

Old friends
They shine like diamonds
Old friends
You can always call
Old friends
Lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends, after all
