Lyrics
New Patches
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now and then an old friend tries to help me
By telling me there's someone I should meet
But I don't have the heart to start all over
Cause my heart is laying at another's feet
You just don't put new patches on old garments
I don't want no one else on my mind
I just don't need nobody new to cling to
I still love someone I've known a long long time
I have built my world around a memory
And she's the only one that I let in
Every time I've tried to love somebody
In my mind I'm loving her again
I still love someone I've known a long long time
