Lyrics
Two Old Friends
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.
Preacher went up to the golden gate
And met God there
With the glow of love in his flowing hair.
I'm dreamin' of a time when love and music,
Is everywhere.
Can you see that time comin'?
No my son that time has gone,
There's things to do.
The world has changed since I first met you.
Back when the band played rock of ages
In their prime,
And the old juke joint was rockin'
Oh, Lord, there's so much hate
In a world where we're from another place.
Show me how to be like you
See no evil, hear no evil
Feel no evil in my heart
In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my beating heart
Sky had turned a lotta shades of gray
As they walked on
And a gentle rain fell down on them
They found faith in the way things are and
The way things change
And they said goodbye like two old friends
Take me up to the mountains high
Or a building top where the spirits fly
Show me how to be like you
See no evil, feel no evil
Fear no evil in my heart
In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my beating heart
Oh, Lord, there's so much hate
In a world where we're from another place
Show me how to live like you
See no evil, hear no evil
Feel no evil in my heart
In my heart, in my aching heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my old black heart
In my heart, in my heart
In my beating heart
