Lyrics Friend - Pink Martini, The von Trapps

Friend

We were friends when we were children
When we were learning of this wild world
Smiled and laughed
Running through the tall green grass
Saving up our love to last
Longer than a year
When we watched the heavens turn
Stars that guide our lives would brightly burn
So we searched for hearts of flame
Till the day we went our separate ways
Friend till we meet again and together face the end
Burn through the dark like the shooting star who mark
The blackness of the sky
Flame will start a fire in our hearts
Fire raging like the sun till the race is run
And when the fight is done we will smile like we did
When we were children
Sunrise chasing off the nights like
And narrow head the light strikes
Our heart turn into stone
As I’ve grown I won’t forget the seeds we’ve sown
That slept beneath the cold white snow
And prosper in the spring
Still we watch the heaven swirl
Desperately we chase the stars that whirl
Now our hearts are all ablaze
Racin' always, racin' on their way
Friend till we meet again
And together face the end
Burning through dark like the shooting star
Who mark the blackness of the sky
Now we walk a wild and weary road
And the world is deadly cold
But we are double bold
As we smile once again
Like we were children, like we were learning
Of this wild world
