lyrics

Oh my friend, we parted ways
Times have changed, as have the roles we've played
Unfinished games, so soon did end
We shed cocoons, and we emerged as men

Though there are many miles that separate
As time and distance alienate
Old friends

And oh my friend, we were like leaves
Close while we shared, that branch upon a tree
Our colors changes, from green to brown
Fall breezes swept us, each to different ground

Follow your dreams and I will follow mine
Perhaps we'll meet again sometime
Old friend

Oh my friend, look at the sky
How fast it changed, so much like you and I
Once we were young, once we were free
Playing at life, like gulls above the sea

Upon the auction block, were bought and sold
Our youth's ideals, perhaps our souls
Old friend

And oh my friend, now it seems clear
We are not bards, we are but players here
Set on a stage, cast in a play
Who writes the lines, that tell us what to say?

Destiny leads us towards diverging ends
We'll never pass this way again
Old friend
