It´s like when you´re makin´ conversation
And you´re tryin´ not to scream
And you´re tryin´ not to tell ´em
You don´t care what they mean
And you´re really feelin´ fragile

And you really can´t get home
And you really feel abandoned
But you wanna be alone

Old friends, they shine like diamonds
Old friends, you can always call
Old friends, Lord, you can´t buy ´em
You know it´s old friends, after all

And when the house is empty
And the lights begin to fade
And there´s nothing to protect you
Except the window shade
And it´s hard to put your finger
On the thing that scares you most
And you can´t tell the difference
Between an angel and a ghost

Old friends, they shine like diamonds
Old friends, you can always call
Old friends, Lord, you can´t buy ´em
You know it´s old friends, after all

Old friends, they shine like diamonds
Old friends, you can always call
Old friends, Lord, you can´t buy ´em
You know it´s old friends, after all
