Guy Clark - Old FriendsLyrics

It's like when you're making conversation And you're trying not to scream And you're trying not to tell 'em 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 want to be alone [Chorus] 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 [Chorus]
