Old friends, old friends Sat on their parkbench like bookends A newspaper blown through the gra** Falls on the round toes Of the high shoes of the old friends Old friends, winter companions, the old men Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset The sounds of the city sifting through trees Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends Can you imagine us years from today Sharing a parkbench quietly How terribly strange to be seventy Old friends, memory brushes the same years Silently sharing the same fears Time it was and what a time it was A time of innocence A time of confidences Long ago it must be I have a photograph Preserve your memories Ther all thats left you...
