Hold An Old Friend's Hand

(Album: No Regrets - 1975)

Another year and I'm still here
The grass just will not grow on this old hill
I just can't let it go
I don't believe it's cause I'm cold
Or partial to the crazy life I'm caught in

Sometimes I feel the hand of time
Is moving like its body was broke
Still I miss your sighs
And the tender words you spoke

Hey, that's okay, come on around and get yourself together
Come on around, hold an old friend's hand
Babe, I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay, I just want to hold you
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand

Another year is dead and gone
The sun don't want to shine on this old hill
Or anything that's mine
I won't believe it hurts to grow
Even when the crop we sow is a failure

Sometimes I wish I had no pride
Could go off and sell my soul
But how do you say goodbye
To the only truth you've known

Hey, that's okay, come on around and get yourself together
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Hold an old friend's hand
