Текст песни: Best of Friends + перевод

Picked up the paper this morning

Could not believe what I saw

A friend of mine was killed

Runnin' from the law

I could still see the face of my old friend

In the picture that stared back at me

And through the tears I went back through the years to remember

The times that we were

Playin' pirates in the school yard, singin'

Soldiers in the fields

We were dreamin'

Brothers in blood 'til the very end

We were best of friends

Best of friends

Always hang together, forever

Thought we’d always be that way

But in time you grow up

And you slip away

It was thirteen years since I’d seen him

This man that I no longer knew

His mother, god bless her

Asked me if I’d say a word or two

Lookin' out in a room full of strangers

I didn’t know quite what to say

All I could tell was of two old friends

And some long gone summer days of

Playin' pirates in the school yard, singin'

Soldiers in the fields

We were dreamin'

Brothers in blood 'til the very end

Friends like him don’t come very often

You never treasure them while there’s time

And if they slip away

You gotta somehow say

You’re still on my mind

So your memory’s all I have left now

These words are all I can give

And from time to time I turn back in my mind

To the place where you’ll always live

Playin' pirates in the school-yard, singin'

Soldiers in the fields

We were dreamin'

Brothers in blood 'til the very end
