Hold An Old Friend's Hand

Rita Coolidge · Fall Into Spring [1974]

Another year and I'm still here

The grass just will not grow on this old hill

But I just cant let it go

Don't believe it's cause I'm cold

Or partial to the crazy life I'm caught in

But sometimes I feel the hand of time

Moving like its body was broken

It's then I miss your sighs

And the tender words you've spoken

Hay that's ok

You just get yourself together

And come on around a and hold an old friends hand

Babe I promise not to throw you

And you don't have to stay

I just want to hold you

Won't you come on around and

Hold an old friends hand

Another year is dead and gone

The sun don't want to shine on this old hill

Or anything thats mine

I don't believe it hurts to grow

Even when the crop you sew is failure

Sometimes I wish I had no pride

I'd go off and sell my soul

But how do you say good bye to the only truth you've known

(chorus)
