Renato Russo - Old Friend Lyrics
Everytime I've lost another loverI call up my old friendAnd say let's get togetherI'm under the weatherAnother love has suddenly come to an endAnd he listens as I tell him my sad storyAnd wonders at my taste in menAnd we wonder why I do itAnd the pain of getting through itAnd 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 doAnd tell each other what we've been throughHow love is rare, life is strangeNothing lasts, people changeAnd I ask him if his life is ever lonelyAnd if he ever feels despairAnd he says he's learned to love it'Cause that's really a part of itAnd it helps him feel the good times when they're thereAnd we wonder if I'll live with any loverOr spend my life aloneAnd the bartender is dozingAnd it's getting time for closingSo we figure that I'll make it on my ownBut we'll meet the year we're sixty-twoAnd travel the world as old friends doAnd tell each other what we've been throughHow love is rare, life is strangeNothing lasts, people change
