Friends are friends, and lovers are lovers
I let the one get confused with the other
Have we reached the point
When we get to start over?
Or don’t we ever?

I know the day will come
As it comes to everyone
When we can put all that behind us
Grow a hedge where a wall was
Let the sun pierce the forest
Won’t let the beast in me find us

I know the day will come
As it comes to everyone
When that day comes I may well be the happiest of men
Or will I want to go through all that again
The time will come, as it comes to all men

Have we reached the age where we start to have real regrets yet?
Get to play for keeps, and to bet everything when we bet.
The time will come, I don’t know when
It’ll slip by, without us even noticing
I’ll wake up without you, or dream about you
Life never labels the last time you do something

The day will have come
As it comes to anyone
When that urge fails
I’ll be a sailor ashore
And I won’t be tossed on the waves and the wind anymore.
