[Verse 1] Old friends gathered in the quiet rain Lay white roses on a bed of stone We shared the laughter, we shared the pain But we're walking down this path alone A bottle opened and a toast we make To the late-night promises we used to wake [Chorus] Oh, it's not the memories of what went wrong Or the love that faded like a summer song It's the words we held back, the paths we didn't tread The sweet and mellow dreams left in our head It's not the things we did that bring the tears today It's all the beautiful things we let slip away [Verse 2] We talk of making love that couldn't last A fleeting fever in the shadow's glow So quick to let the moments slide into the past And here we stand with nowhere left to go The glass is empty, and the flowers lie Underneath a grey and silent sky [Chorus] Oh, it's not the memories of what went wrong Or the love that faded like a summer song It's the words we held back, the paths we didn't tread The sweet and mellow dreams left in our head It's not the things we did that bring the tears today It's all the beautiful things we let slip away [Outro] Just the things we haven't done... Underneath the setting sun. Goodbye, old friend.
