old friend
Everytime I've lost another lover I call up my old friend And say let's get together I'm under the weather Another love has suddenly come to an end And he listens as I tell him my sad story And wonders at my taste in men And we wonder why I do it And the pain of getting through it And he laughs and says: "You'll do it again !" And we sit in a bar and talk till two 'Bout life and love as old friends do And tell each other what we've been through How love is rare, life is strange Nothing lasts, people change And I ask him if his life is ever lonely And if he ever feels despair And he says he's learned to love it 'Cause that's really a part of it And it helps him feel the good times when they're there And we wonder if I'll live with any lover Or spend my life alone And the bartender is dozing And it's getting time for closing So we figure that I'll make it on my own But we'll meet the year we're sixty-two And travel the world as old friends do And tell each other what we've been through How love is rare, life is strange Nothing lasts, people change
