The Mocking Ones

My old friend, you know you're good to see
How I've missed the way you look at me
You bring to mind so many memories
Of how things were and how they couldn't be

Because we never did see eye to eye
Still we loved each other, God knows why
Now as light fades in the western sky
All our chances seem to pass us by

Know I've always wished for you good luck
And as I rummaged through the rust and dust
To save myself I said it ended thus
And thought of you and me, no more as us

No, we never did see eye to eye
Still we loved each other, God knows why
Now as light fades in the western sky
All our chances seem to pass us by

I said before and now the long time's come
To wait, forget, and still remember some
To hold our heads above the laughing tongues
Falling from faces of the mocking ones

So my old friend, you know you're good to see
You bring to mind such lovely memories
Oh, how I've missed the way you look at me
