Best Of Friends Lyrics

Best Of Friends lyrics

Picked up the paper this morning
Could not believe what I saw
A friend of
mine was killed
Runnin' from the law

I could still see the face of my
old friend
In the picture that stared back at me
And through the tears I
went back through the years to remember
The times that we
were

Playin' pirates in the school yard, singin'
Soldiers in the
fields
We were dreamin'
Brothers in blood 'til the very end

We
were best of friends
Best of friends
Always hang together,
forever
Thought we'd always be that way
But in time you grow up
And
you slip away

It was thirteen years since I'd seen him
This man that
I no longer knew
His mother, god bless her
Asked me if I'd say a word or
two
Lookin' out in a room full of strangers
I didn't know quite what to
say
All I could tell was of two old friends
And some long gone summer
days of

Playin' pirates in the school yard, singin'
Soldiers in the
fields
We were dreamin'
Brothers in blood 'til the very
end

Friends like him don't come very often
You never treasure them
while there's time
And if they slip away
You gotta somehow say
You're
still on my mind

So your memory's all I have left now
These words are
all I can give
And from time to time I turn back in my mind
To the place
where you'll always live

Playin' pirates in the school-yard,
singin'
Soldiers in the fields
We were dreamin'
Brothers in blood 'til
the very end
