Old buddies
Lyrics and music: Daniel Lavoie
On the night train to Monte-Carlo through the misty countryside
I could see the new moon rising and you know she don't roll she glides
So smooth in my berth these Italian trains sure are a marvelous ride
I watch the little stone houses popping like a dream, in and out of the night
And I was thinking if you could be here, we could talk till three or four
Get the feeling good together like so many times before
Well I missed you through November, but I'll be seeing you soon
With the waning moon if the clouds don't hide it
We could doze away and watch it sail
If you're fed up with lonely stories of lost and wayward traveling bands
I'd be hard up to tell you of the glories though the road calls again and again
And it might just eventually win
It seems the further you get away the further away you get
And the further away you get the further you get away
Well I missed you through November, but I'll be seeing you soon
With the waning moon if the clouds don't hide it
We'll get some beer and talk about the girls we knew
If you've fed up with lonely stories of lost and wayward traveling bands
I'd be hard up to tell you of the glories though the road calls again and again
And it might just eventually win
The further you get away the further away you get
The further away you get the further you get away…
On the night train to Monte-Carlo through the misty countryside
I could see the new moon rising and you know she don't roll she glides
So smooth in my berth these Italian trains sure are a marvelous ride
I watch the little stone houses popping like a dream, in and out of the night
And I was thinking if you could be here, we could talk till three or four
Get the feeling good together like so many times before
Well I missed you through November, but I'll be seeing you soon
With the waning moon if the clouds don't hide it
We could doze away and watch it sail
If you're fed up with lonely stories of lost and wayward traveling bands
I'd be hard up to tell you of the glories though the road calls again and again
And it might just eventually win
It seems the further you get away the further away you get
And the further away you get the further you get away
Well I missed you through November, but I'll be seeing you soon
With the waning moon if the clouds don't hide it
We'll get some beer and talk about the girls we knew
If you've fed up with lonely stories of lost and wayward traveling bands
I'd be hard up to tell you of the glories though the road calls again and again
And it might just eventually win
The further you get away the further away you get
The further away you get the further you get away…
