Got on the phone with my old friend Mark
We hadn’t talked in 50 years
His voice was familiar as that old offshore wind
Words fell into place like meshing gears
Then we spoke about how we fell out
About that girl who tore us apart
He said he didn’t recall what I was on about
“Who’s this girl who broke your heart”
Got on the phone with my old friend Dave
We hadn’t talked in 50 years
He still liked to spiel the same old line of bull
His object much closer than it appears
Then we spoke about how we fell out
That time I gave him a loan
He said he didn’t recall what I was on about
Then he abruptly hung up the phone
It’s a life misremembered
Got on the phone with my old friend Bill
We hadn’t talked in 50 years
I almost forgot just how funny he was
His jokes brought me down to tears
Then we spoke about how we fell out
He said I once didn’t have his back in a crunch
I thought it strange that he brought that up
Because I was the one who took the punch
