emma topping - the old familiar faces lyrics

Loading...

i have had playmates, i have had companions
in my days of childhood, in my joyful school+days
all, all are gone, the old familiar faces

i have been laughing, i have been carousing
drinking late, sitting late, with my bosom cronies
all, all are gone, the old familiar faces

i loved a love once, fairest among women;
closed are her doors on me, i must not see her —
all, all are gone, the old familiar faces

i have a friend, a kinder friend has no man;
like an ingrate, i left my friend abruptly;
left him, to muse on the old familiar faces

ghost+like, i paced round the haunts of my childhood
earth seemed a desert i was bound to traverse
seeking to find the old familiar faces

friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother
why wert not thou born in my father’s dwelling?
so might we talk of the old familiar faces —

how some they have died, and some they have left me
and some are taken from me; all are departed;
all, all are gone, the old familiar faces
