I met a friend of mine
Happily as if God had sent me
"I don't know anyone here anymore," he tells me,
"Tell me, where are all our friendsl?"
(So I say)
Ref. 2x
I'd give a hundred Americas
I'd give everything in the world
Just to sit on the veranda
So with maps and wine spritzer I count the waves
I look at pictures of him and his son
He says that the boy's called Jim
That the house has twenty-two windows
"You live well," I'm surprised at him
(and he says)
