Nothing stays the same, time takes its toll - friendships may fade into memories, and sometimes the memories are all that remain. This song captures that regret, and for us is a timeless classic - one of Chris Simpson's best.
This song is on our album 'Best Friends' - you can buy the album from us at gigs and also from our jiva CD page where you can see the full track listing.

Two old friends of mine, I saw them only
yesterday
They were there, but I got the feeling they had gone away
Gone away from each other
But I was alone, killing time
A stranger in the silence of their company
Who lost the reason for being together?
Who says the money won't go round?
Once it was love and we'd live on a shoestring
But they don't give no mortgage on a castle in the air
Two old friends of mine, a dripping tap
and a broken old chair
And, if I read between the lines, someone's lonely, someone doesn't care
If it's all gone by tomorrow
For tomorrow's been and gone
Like a bird that has no home
Who lost the reason for being together?
Who says the money won't go round?
Once it was love and we'd live on a shoestring
But they don't give no mortgage on a castle in the air
Two old friends of mine, is this all
life has left of you?
Who took the laughter and the time, we said what we were gonna do
When we were grown and ready
To take on the world with a song
And now the tune is one you can't remember
