Cover art for Old Friends lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

One correction to the posted lyrics:
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunSET.

This is much more significant...the sunset represents the end of their lives.

"How terribly strange to be seventy" I love that line. Coming from young men, they see it as being strange in the future. I feel the same way.
