[Verse 1] Its like when youre making conversation And youre trying not to scream And youre trying not to tell em That you dont care what they mean And youre really feeling fragile And you really cant get home And you really feel abandoned But you want to be alone [Chorus] Old friends, they shine like diamonds Old friends, you can always call Old friends, Lord, you cant buy em You know its old friends after all [Verse 2] And when the house is empty And the light begins to fade And theres nothing to protect you Except the window shade And its hard to put your finger On the thing that scares you most And you cant tell the difference Between an angel and a ghost [Chorus] Old friends, they shine like diamonds Old friends, you can always call Old friends Lord, you cant buy em You know its old friends after all
friend, old, em, really, diamond
