Goodbye Old Friend Lyrics

I need you and I want you 'cause I know you from before
I hate you and I fear you but I hold open the door
I see you and you see me and we know what must be done
So we draw knives and lock eyes 'cause it does no good to run

Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

I've missed you, you know that's true and I've retraced every scar
My head sings and the steel rings 'cause we've traveled, oh so far
I chased you to embrace you like the sun chases the moon
I burn you and you burn me but I know I'll see you soon

I've watched you and I've seen you and known that you were there
I've held and you've loved me but our lives cannot be spared
I trust you and despised you, shadowed your every move
Scorned you and warned you, befriended everyone you've used

Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

The Devil Makes Three is an Americana band from Santa Cruz, California, United States. The group blends bluegrass, old time, country, folk, blues, jazz, and ragtime music. The group's members are guitarist Pete Bernhard, upright bassist Lucia Turino, and guitarist and tenor banjo player Cooper McBean.

“The rhythm is what our band is about." Says Pete Bernhard: Guitarist, Front Man. The Devil Makes Three are quite possibly the best band that you have never heard of. They have been constantly on tour, selling out dates across the country and in their neck of the woods on the West Coast drawing near capacity crowds nightly. This is all word of mouth. Over the years, the Devil Makes Three have garnered fans the old school way, playing a city, making friends, conquering fans and moving on.

Laced with elements of ragtime, blues, country, folk and rockabilly, the critically praised, drummer-less trio - consisting of Vermont native, guitarist/front man Pete Bernhard, stand-up bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean, also of rural Vermont - brings forth a genuine approach to acoustic music. The sound is deeply steeped in rhythm and alive with three part harmonies, while keeping a slightly punk aesthetic to their music and especially their live shows.

Note: the following songs belong to a different band with the same name, a small local metal band from Northern Ireland:
