Old Friend

[Verse]
An old friend knocks on my door
Shoes worn
Heart a little sore
The years have made him lean and gray
But his laugh still lights the way

[Chorus]
Old friend
Where have you been
Through the dust and the din
Old friend
Sit and stay awhile
Let's mend the time with a smile

[Verse 2]
His stories tumble like autumn leaves
Carrying truths that no one believes
The bottle spins between his hands
Life's a clock that never stands

[Chorus]
Old friend
Where have you been
Through the dust and the din
Old friend
Sit and stay awhile
Let's mend the time with a smile

[Bridge]
We don't need to speak of pain
Let the rain wash through the plain
Eyes meet
And the past unwinds
Two hearts beating
Intertwined

[Chorus]
Old friend
Where have you been
Through the dust and the din
Old friend
Sit and stay awhile
Let's mend the time with a smile
