Buddy Steve (Long Lost Friend) Lyrics by The Left Banke

Strangers on a Train (bonus track version)

2022

[Verse 1]
When I was 25
I wondered if he still was alive
So I went off to Milan
To find my long-lost friend
[Verse 2]
As I crossed the ocean
A starlit ocean
The bluest ocean
Thinking of my long-lost friend
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-ah, oh-oh
How I miss my buddy, Steve
Oh, oh-oh-ah, oh-oh
How I miss my buddy, Steve
[Verse 3]
What is right, and what is wrong
When you find that love is gone?
Letting years pass with the dawn
And now is the find of your life
[Verse 4]
Then I looked, and there he was
And he told me he was what he was
All the pain that showed in his eyes
Want to turn back the years of his lifе
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-ah, oh-oh
How I miss my buddy, Steve
Oh, oh-oh-ah, oh-oh
How I miss my buddy, Stevе
[Bridge]
What a weekend, what a reward
It doesn't matter when I'm not bored
Once we realized we're winding back time
There's the answer to one at a time
[Verse 5]
When I was 21
He wondered if I wasn't all wrong
So I told him straight on the line
To find out would do us no harm
[Verse 6]
Then we crossed the ocean
A sunlit ocean
The bluest ocean
Having there the times of our life
[Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh-ah, oh-oh
How I miss my buddy, Steve
Oh, oh-oh-ah, oh-oh
How I miss my buddy, Steve
[Outro]
How I missed my buddy, Steve
