Old Mates - 1996 Digital Remaster
I met a friend the other day a mate from the olden times before the shadow of age had dimmed our shimmer of youth will shine he looked at me and I looked at him and we thought what the years can do the miles in between have been long and hard for both of that was true I remember him now as I knew him then it's funny how fancy strains and I thought of the girls and the cups he'd won back in his dancing days he remembered me as he knew me best in places where bright lights shine where hearts were light and the parties were bright and the key to them both was wine Instrumental Then both of us looked out across the road Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com as we did in the olden days and we said to each other for old times sake to heck what the doctor says we dressed at the bar as we used to do drank brandy and beer at will and we chatted the bar maids and blokes all around and joined in the evening swill we looked at each other, then at the drinks and then with a ruefull smile we drank to the good old days that were and the hell with the last long mile we parted outside the old swinging doors of the place that was once our shrine then he shuffled away on his walking stick and I hobbled away on mine
