Pink Martini - Friend lyrics

We were friends when we were children When we were learning of this wild world Smiled and laughed Running through the tall green gra** 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
