When We Were Friends By Beaver Nelson Undisturbed The laying, the shading, the fading of the lines The even knowing that there's something wrong The grinding, not finding, reminding of a time When there was such a thing as holding on It was so nice looking at your smile And thinking such a thing would never end Another, another, another candle day Wick burning down so slow Some other, some other, some other gentle way Remembrances of a smoother road Time behind the wheel—we would trade Wasn't it easier when we were friends I've been here, you've been here, we've both been here before A thousand times up and down the curves Don't want to, don't need to, don't see the reasons for Making trips when no reason's served Adventure's only real when you don't know what's in store Frowns only have one face to lend It's coming, it's going, it's right before us now It's sad enough with a hand to hold I've named it, you've named it, we've both cursed it down It's bad enough without being cold One back against the wind while the other'd bow Wasn't it easier when we were friends So what's left, what's right, what's under our control Only where we go, not where we've been Here's a hand, there's a hand, and hand in hand we'll roll Pretending until we smile again It's just a turn from now back to the road That we used to walk when we were friends Fill in the Blank/ASCAP To order Undisturbed, Little Brother or Last Hurrah, go to: www.blackdogrecords.com www.lonestarmusic.com www.texasmusicroundup.com/
