New Friends

from Headlong by Larry Hirshberg

about

Wrote this for my wife, long before she was my wife.

lyrics

Old friends, they know
Your trouble comes and goes
Like the guitar and the song
Play and sing it, then it’s gone
But you play and sing it and it'll come again
Then you pass it on to some old friends
Old friends, they help you work it through
New friends can do that too…

So tell me what scares you today
Will a kiss keep those fears at bay?
Show me what you’re running from
Will my hand help to get you home?

Old friends, they know
Your trouble comes and goes
Like the guitar and the song
Play and sing it, then it’s gone
But you play and sing it and it comes again
Then you pass it on to some old friends
Old friends help you work it through
New friends can do that too…

So why did your last lover go?
What in your room makes you love it so?
What’s that growing in your garden there?
What’s that sweet smell all through your hair?

Starting out like children then
What we said and what we meant
You never know much about the end
Starting out with your new friend

So tell me what scares you today
Will a kiss keep those fears at bay?
Show me what you’re running from
Will my hand help to get you home?

Old friends, they know
Your trouble comes and goes
Like the guitar and the song
Play and sing it, then it’s gone
But you play and sing it and it comes again
Then you pass it on to some old friends
Old friends help you work it through
New friends can do that too…

Old friends
New friends
Old friends help you work it through
New friends can do that too…
