Six Friends

Beyond the fields of grass
Where we left our tattered past
In songs and memories
And pictures left in books

Buttons and patches
And plastic badges
Get old and yellow
In a box that we forsook
But we still got

Six friends and something to believe in
Six friends and a message we're receiving
Ain't it nice that we still do have you round

Six friends singing songs when they need to
Six friends who never will never will mislead you
There's no friends that are better than the ones we found

These bits of time we keep
Because we need to be
Assured of better things
And people that are good

And though our world's evolved
Maybe we're more involved
In things that make it rich
But we know where we stood
And we hang on

Six friends and something to believe in
Six friends and a message we're receiving
Ain't it nice that we still do have you round

Six friends singing songs when they need to
Six friends who never will never will mislead you
There's no friends that are better than the ones we found

There is a story told
That when your heart grows cold
That love can warm it up
And thaw the ice inside

So storyteller, please
Tell your tales of folks like these
Of crazy times and tender things
With those we can confide
As we hang on

Six friends and something to believe in
Six friends and a message we're receiving
Ain't it nice that we still do have you round

Six friends singing songs when they need to
Six friends who never will never will mislead you
There's no friends that are better than the ones we found
