A Flame For Old Friends

A Flame For Old Friends Is there life on Mars Do sad lovers play guitars Do they hold their breaths Do they cross their fingers Do they let their friendship slide when they reach the other side Of their broken hearts or hope it lingers It's been so long since you called my name We meet again Beneath some ashes there's some kind of flame For old friends old friend Well you know my face like you know your own I know your every gesture every sigh and moan Here we flirt and we chatter in some airport lounge Is this an arrival or departure Are we homeward bound It's seems so long since you called my name We meet again Beneath some ashes there's some kind of flame For old friends It's seemed so long since you called my name Can we meet again Beneath our ashes is there still a flame For an old friend old friend for an old friend old friend Well is there life on Mars Do sad lovers play guitars Did you hold your breath Or cross your fingers
