Cigar from Old Friend - Rustic Melodies

Saw you sitting by the window side
Same old hat same steady eyes
Years rolled on but not too far
You still lit that same old cigar
Walked in slow you looked my way
Didn't smile much but that's your way
Just nodded once like nothing changed
Like time just paused instead of aged
No need for words no need to pretend
Some things don't break they just bend
You slid a cigar from your coat sleeve set
Sit down son don't you leave
No big speech no grand hello
Just smoke arising soft and slow
And in that quiet I understood
Some bonds don't fade they just stay good
Ain't no need to say it out loud
When it's a cigar from an old friend now
Talked about roads we used to ride
The ones we lost the ones we tried
Some names came up some stayed gone like ghosts
We carry along you said world's still turning
The same but not every man stays in the game
I saw that weight behind your eyes
A truce you never disguised
Ash fell down like time gone by
We didn't ask the reason why
You passed that flame with a steady hand
Like you knew I'd understand
No need to fix what life has done
Just share the smoke till the night is gone
And in that silence I found some peace
Like the past gave me a brief release
Ain't no words could say it proud
Like a cigar from an old friend now
Didn't ask where you've been all these years
Didn't talk about regrets or fears
Just let the moment speak its truth
Like we did back in our youth
That cigar burned down to the end
Like every road we couldn't mend
But something stayed in that quiet night
That made the weight feel a little light
No promises no need to pretend
Just two old souls meeting again
And I'll carry that moment somehow
That cigar from an old friend now
You stood up slow tipped your hat
Didn't say much more than that
And as you walked out through that door
I knew what that moment was for
