LONG, LOST FRIENDS Words/music: bill mallonee

No room for faking and no room for doubt
your heart keeps breaking and time’s running out
running down the track like a runaway train
catching up with ghosts is such a pain

So where to begin?
it’da been nice to meet
the person you’ve never been
and throw some of that caution to the wind.

So if I ain’t gonna show I’m counting on you
buddy don’t spare me the ugly truth
and all of those burdens and all of those words
and all that stuff that’ll never get heard

And speaking of long, lost friends
It’da sure been nice to meet
the person you’ve never been
and throw some of that caution to the wind

Like a bird on the wire that’s just flown
you are someone you have barely know
so have some mercy on yourself and the skin you’re in
might be the greatest act of faith there’s ever been

And speaking of long, lost friends
It’da sure been nice to meet
the person you’ve never been
and throw some of that caution to the wind
