This Moody Bastard

Little friend of mine 
Can you still recall 
Our salad days 
Between the ivy walls? 
Beneath the autumn sun? 
When all is said and done 
We were a good combination 
We were good clean fun 
Still my thoughts roll back 
Every now and then 
Think about you 
Remembering 
I start in smiling and 
I just can't stop 
You on the bottom 
Me on top 

These days it's like a tomb 
Amid in the stacks of gloom 
Looking out the window 
In the downstairs room 
And the time goes by 
And the time goes by 
Sometimes it goes so slowly 
You know a man could cry 
Till the day goes down 
In deep disgrace 
With empty pockets 
And a dirty face 
And then the day boils over 
And there's nothing there 
But a roomful of smoke and a lot of hot air 

This moody bastard remembers 
You were some kind of friend even then 
Once in a great while 
He needs one... 
This moody bastard 
This moody bastard 
He needs one 
He needs some kind of friend now and again 
Once in blue moon 
Could use one 
This moody bastard 

Little friend of mine 
You don't even know 
When the wind starts blowing 
How far a man could go 
Little friend of mine 
Are you even there 
Did you disappear 
Back into thin air 
If you 're still here with me 
If you got this far 
I hope you're smiling 
In fact I know you are 

This moody bastard remembers 
You were some kind of friend even then 
Once in a great while 
He needs one... 
This moody bastard 
This moody bastard 
He needs one 
He needs some kind of friend now and again 
Once in blue moon 
Could use one 
This moody bastard
