Hey old friend It's been a long time From time to time You enter my mind I have dreams In the night time I look back To my old life Where'd you go Where you going I don't know Think I'm done knowing I am dogs barking, leaves in the garden The song in my heart that keeps on humming Creek in the valley that keeps on running When there's been no rain and the summer's coming Will you be my reminder to keep on loving When there's sadness on my brain And I can't feel nothing Hey old friend Beg your pardon I've been seeking only shade From this side of the garden I'm still young and afraid Of how the heart can harden How the mind can be a cave That you wander on and on in I am dogs barking, leaves in the garden The song in my heart that keeps on humming Creek in the valley that keeps on running When there's been no rain and the summer's coming Will you be my reminder to keep on loving When there's sadness on my brain And I can't feel nothing Hey old friend Since we were children The weight of the load it Keeps on building Weight of the load it Keeps on shifting Would you come home for some Heavy lifting
