One time I looked into the eyes of a stranger and found the comfort of an old friend, like a silhouette in the sunset. (ALL LYRICS ARE BRETT DENNEN)

Your gonna fall apart. It's gonna break your heart
Your gonna know that you were wrong. Down to the boatyard you'll run
Like you did at your graduation
Your gonna miss her when she's gone Who you trying to fool?These are the wounds that heal you. It's the pain that reveals you

Where are all my old friends? It's been a long time gone

We've been drifting apart for so many years I hope they're still marching on
Some are probably happy with families, working hard to get ahead
Some of them are lost, some are wandering, and some of them are already dead

I sit through the trickery
The jealousy and vanity
The potency of your prophesy
Because I long to be...
Closer to you

"mermaids waltzing through a fleet of fisherman

chattering children lift their ears to the sky

skeptics stare in fascination

i have seen so much beauty if could make you cry

tears are fallin'

tears are fallin'

women flock with flames under their noses

i have seen so much beauty if could make you cry"

"damsels dressed in old stylish fashion

trees in the city all strung with lights

broken hearts meet with uncontrollable fashion

i have seen so much beauty it could make you cry"

I am a lover, and I am a dreamer
I've been that down, and I've loved, and I've lost
I've been alone, been far from home
Follow your heart

And I've been cheated, I've been defeated
I've played the game and I've been double crossed
Every friend of mine has been in hard times
