Lyrics
You just can't hide from me
I don't play hide and seek
Keep looking for the thing you're after
Forget about what used to be
Time is flying, daylight's dying
Turn around, don't look back
Why would you hide from me
What I've so long to see?
Hey old friend, how long's it been?
Years and years, at least, it seems
to change your hopes and change your dreams
from everything they used to be.
I remember a time when you were strong,
no doubt or fear ever filled your eye.
Like everything good, it seemed to die.
Oh my friend, it's been far too long.
You just can't hide from me
I don't play hide and seek
Keep looking for the thing you're after
Forget about what used to be
Time is flying, daylight's dying
Turn around, don't look back
Why would you hide from me
What I've so long to see?
Hey old friend, how long's it been?
Since we last sang a song.
Playing tunes that caught the ears
of everyone that passed us by.
The more I try, the more I lie,
to create becomes so hard
I can't complain, the music's there
waiting to be played.
A single song, my friend, its been far too long.
Hey old friend, how long's it been?
Since a smile was on your face.
The love we had, what could have been,
Won't you come back to me again?
The love we had, and all we left,
I need you to save me from myself.
Love, my friend, it's been far too long.
