Lyrics Old Friends (Live) - Guy Clark

It′s like when you're making conversation
And you′re trying not to scream
And you're trying not to tell 'em
That you don′t care what they mean

And you′re really feeling 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
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

Yes, it's 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

This next song is written by my wife Susanna
And a friend of ours named Richard Leigh
It's called "Come From The Heart"
