Hello My Old Friend Songtext
von Ben Willmott

Hello my old friend
Were you there when I called?
Good to hear you′re on the mend
Though the news was second-hand
Don't say you′re sorry, for hiding away
I hope you didn't think we'd look the other way
You make it sound like you′re ashamed, of who you have become
But to us you′re still the same, you're still the same


We all get it wrong sometimes
Waste our time with regrets
Hang your conscience out to dry
Find another thing to try
But why the solitude? The constant grey
The absent message to "come back another day"
It′s not like you to be afraid, of something we might say
Is that why you stayed away? You stayed away

Hello my old friend
Was it you I just saw?
Walking just beyond the sand...
Did I make believe you raised your hand?
But when I draw my breath and turn to call
I look again and it turns out it's not you after all
Are you somewhere overseas? Have you even changed your name?
I hope we′ll meet again one day, one day
