We've Been Talking -

So we sat and we talked

Way into the night

Over glasses of wine

By the pale moonlight

About lovers and friends

Hot desert sands

The songs of our fathers

And rock and bands

But as I looked in his eyes

I saw not a smile

Like a sea with no waves

Mile upon mile

A tree without leaves

A clock without hands

You see me and my friend

We’ve been talking

Our friendship goes back

To an ealier time

Kids growing up Trouble and strife

Now misty old mornings

Toast with our wives

Simpler problems steadier lives

With time on our hands

And with money to spend

Not counting the cost

Of time with a friend

Accepting the past

And with no time to lose

Now things that were real

Are just yesterdays news
