My Old Friends (2002 Remastered Version)

Duncan Browne

Inner light, inner light
shine brightly on my old friends
May they go on, never fall
Never think that
I don’t wish them well

Inner light, inner light
shine forever on my old friends
All in all, I loved them well
More than any woman
I have ever known

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

We were taught
with might a-misty
Shoveling everything
into the middle of next week
We shared our money
bounced our cheques
Buying expensive meals
for the opposite sex

We seriously planned
our wildest dreams
but failure kept clinging
to all our schemes
We laughed it off
fell back into the fold
until one of us
started feeling old

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

There was a house
on a hill
but we never bought it
and I don’t think we ever will

We met our women
who took us away
Now it seems there’s almost
nothing left to say
But in spite of all
we may still be the same
after we finish playing
our own separate games

But I have no doubt
though the years have flown
Those were the freest times
I have ever known

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Inner light, inner light
shine brightly on my old friends
May they go on, never fall
Never think that
I don’t wish them well

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
