Friends and Lovers Lyrics by Bread

Retrospective

0

Friends and lovers
Saying goodbye to each other
Their way
Your way
Gathered in garden and parting in doorways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the papers said
And I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?

Friends and lovers
Turning away from the others
Your way
Their way
Closing their doors and then climbing their stairways
And it's over
Anyway that's what the people say
And I wonder
Does it really have to be this way
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
Or did you stand alone until the darkness came
Just one more room where everybody knew your name

Friends and lovers
Ever apart from others
Endless hallways
Just say goodbye and it's over for always
And it's over
Didn't you believe me when I said and I wonder
What was going on inside your head
You were there
You were there I'd like to ask
Did anybody touch you?
Come and go it went so fast
Did anybody touch you?
