Scott Walker
Hold an Old Friend’s Hand
[Verse 1]
Another year and I'm still here
Grass just will not grow on this old hill
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sometimes I feel the hand of time
Is movin' like its body was broke
Still I miss your sighs
And the tender words you spoke
[Chorus]
Hey, that's okay
Come on around, get yourself together
Come on around, hold an old friend's hand
[Chorus]
Babe, I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay, I just wanna hold you
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand
[Verse 2]
Another year is dead and gone
The sun don't wanna shine on this old hill
Or anything that's mine
I won't believe it hurts to grow
Even when the crop we sow is a failure
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes I wish I had no pride
Could go off and sell my soul
But how do you say goodbye
To the only truth you known?
[Chorus]
Hey, that's okay
Come on around, get yourself together
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Hold an old friend's hand
