Lyric Hold An Old Friend s Hand

(Donna Weiss)

Another year and I m still here
The grass just will not grow on this old hill
Still I just can t let it go,
I don t believe it s cause I m cold
or partial to the crazy life I m caught in
Sometimes I fell the hand of time
moving like its body was broke
and it s then I miss your sighs
and the tender words you spoke

Hey, that s okay - come on around and get yourself together
Won t you come on around and hold an old friend s hand
Babe, I promise not to throw you
You don t have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won t you come on around
and hold an old friend s hand

Another year is dead and gone
The sun don t want to shine on this old hill
or anything that s mine
I don t believe it hurts to grow
even when the crop you sow is a failure
Sometimes I wish I had no pride
I d go off and sell my soul
But how do you say goodbye
to the only truth you ve known

Hey, that s okay - come on around and get yourself together
Won t you come on around and hold an old friend s hand
Baby baby, I promise not to throw you
You don t have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won t you come on around
and hold an old friend s hand

Oh babe, honey everybody makes mistakes
We feel a lot of life that way
Don t you think by now I know that?
Look what s brought us both back
Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again and again and again

Hey, that s okay - come on around and get yourself together
Won t you come on around and hold an old friend s hand
Around and around with you I ve been
flat on the ground and up again
nobody know for sure just when
everything changes
