Lyrics Old Friend - Loudon Wainwright III

Old Friend

Old friend dont you know its over?
Old friend can’t you understand?
Slap your back i can no longer
I can only shake your hand
It’s been so long, and things are so difrent
Memory lane’s a dead end street
Your presence tence is remenisen
I can’t rehash it, i won’t repeat
Your not so sure about tomorrow
You try to beg and steal and borrow
Yesterday sweet parting sorrow
You hold it over my head like a rusty aks
The good old days are good and gone now
Thats why they are good, because they are gone
But our conversation turns the cow tow
We kiss the pasts ass all night long
Old friend dont you know its over?
Old friend can’t you understand?
Slap your back i can no longer
I can only shake your hand
