Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old friend, what you doing out there?
Come inside, sit yourself on that chair
It's been a long time since the last time
Of many burdens have passed through our hands
Night into day and day into night
[Verse 2]
Do you know what I mean?
I'm trying to say, I'm sorry
You're the star in the sea
You're not just anybody
There's a light in your eye
That I can't seem to reach
Over head in the sky
Is it shining on me?
Is it shining on me?
[Verse 3]
I always knew that you would not hang around
You and me were like the thieves of the town
Too many girlfriends but not enough love
Too many late nights and not enough sleep
Strung out and wasted, no good, in shape for
The life we tasted there on the table
[Verse 4]
Do you know what I mean?
I'm trying to say, I'm sorry
You're the star in the sea
You're not just anybody
There's a light in your eye
That I can't seem to reach
Over head in the sky
Is it shining on me?
[Verse 5]
Open our hearts and deeds in our head
But most of the time, we stay in our bed
If you got out there, you're just up north
It's a calm cool world outside that door
