Old Friends

Old friends, old friends
sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blowin' through the grass
Falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends

 

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats,
waiting for the sun
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust
on the shoulders of the old friends

 

Can you imagine us years from today,
sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

 

Old friends,
memory brushes the same years,
silently sharing the same fears.
