Where Are The Friends - The Koobas

And now for Miss Lucy Nation

Of fifty two La Shaft street

London west two

For her son Stan, now serving in the Lebanon

We have a number about something everybody needs

Friends, ow

As the twilight leads the way

For darkness over earth descending

No ones there to welcome home

The lonely one who’s journeys ending

Nothing but the memories

That linger in the mind forever

Memories of precious things

But meaningless till we’re together

Where are the friends

That I thought would be here

Maybe they’ve all lost their way

Or was I wrong when I thought them sincere

Have they forgotten the day

Comrades of my childhood

In adventures of our minds creation

Growing up as close as brothers

With no thoughts of separation

But it came and I believe

Our plan to meet again was honest

Did the years in passing

Wear away the meaning of the promise

Where are the friends

That I thought would be here

Maybe they’ve all lost their way

Or was I wrong when I thought them sincere

Have they forgotten the day

And if I say will we all meet again

If they remember to come

Just one old friend who would kindly explain

Why I’m the only one

As the twilight leads the way

For darkness over earth descending

No ones there to welcome home

The lonely one who’s journeys ending

Nothing but the memories

That linger in the mind forever

Memories of precious things

But meaningless till we’re together

Where are the friends (where are the friends)

Ah where are the friends
