Old Friends -- Simon & Garfunkel

Old friends, old friends, Sat on their parkbench like bookends A newspaper blown through the grass Falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men Lost in their overcoats,
waiting for the sunset The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settles like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy Old friends, memory brushes the same years,
Silently sharing the same fears 




Old Friends is a box set of Simon and Garfunkel songs, released in 1997. The three-disc anthology collects most of the duo's best-known works, and also includes previously unreleased outtakes.     (wikipedia)
