david burnett another old friend calling şarkı sözleri
Might be some out there
Can’t say who, can’t say where
Uncovered Eden with a lifetime to spare
Perfect hearts that never needed repair
But there’s no bright blinking sign
There’s no chart, there’s no guide
There’s no corner where the clever can hide
From this aching that we carry inside
Of all the possibilities
That could’ve been our lives
Who would’ve guessed we’d live to see such curious times?
And I never thought I would ever be
Just another old friend calling to see how you’ve been
Now we talk like we know
A thing or two about atonement
Not many ways this conversation can go
When the words we need come painfully slow
In our voices, a faint trace
Of remorse for the waste
Those glowing omens and the visions we chased
Linger like a bitter aftertaste
Of all the possibilities
That could’ve been our lives
Who would’ve guessed we’d live to see such curious times?
And I never thought I would ever be
Just another old friend calling to see how you’ve been
It’s no good playing with illusions best kept on a tight leash
It’s no good coveting conclusions that lie just beyond our reach
And of all the fools under the sun to flaunt the rules there’s not a one
Who ever found a way to make decayed love into what it once was
Of all the possibilities
That could’ve been our lives
Who would’ve guessed we’d live to see such curious times?
And I never thought I would ever be
Just another old friend calling to see how you’ve been
