(Starsky to Hutch post Kira.)

I thought you were my friend Hutch

I thought youd always care

I thought Id always look around

And know that you were there.

I thought that I could trust you

With all that I hold dear

Thought I could tell you anything

And never have to fear.

You meant the whole wide world to me

I loved you like a brother

I never thought youd turn on me

And hurt me like no other.

I never thought youd be the one

To break my heart in two

To take the trust I held so dear

And shatter it clean through.

Ive tried to get my head around

The way that you behaved

But all that I can see right now

Is how Ive been betrayed.

Ive tried to understand the way

You stole my love from me

Despite the friendship we both shared

How could you let this be?

Has our friendship been in vain?

Did I get it all so wrong?

Did you really mean to cause such pain?

Did you hate me all along?

******

(Hutch to Starsky)

I never meant to hurt you Starsk

Never meant it to be so

Never meant to let it get this far

Never meant to hit so low.

Your friendship means much more to me

Than you will ever know

Its kept me sane in this mad world

Though Ive never told you so.

Id never trust another one

To watch my back out there

To stand against the angry mob

To climb the darkened stair.

You told me what she meant to you

And in a moment of pure lust

I betrayed the friend that I hold dear

And threw away his trust.

I know now that she used us

She played us both like fish

Now all that I can do is pray

Youll grant for me one wish

I wish for your forgiveness Starsk

Do you have it in your heart

To hear the words I say to you,

To make another start?

Without your friendship Starsky

The worlds a lonely place

Full of hate and anger

And its somewhere I cant face

Without you standing by my side

All I can feel is pain

Can you ever forgive me Starsk

So we can start again?

*****

(Starskys reply)

Its a long and lonely world out there

With no-one at your side

Itd full of danger, hate and fear

And jealousy and pride.

Jealousys an evil thing

That splits good friends in two

Despite the strength of binds that tie

A heart is split clean through.

But a heart it can be mended Hutch

If our heads would let it be

Lets face the danger side by side

Together Me and Thee.

Pride is such a lonely thing

To wear upon your face

Ive found that if I swallow hard

It leaves without a trace.

And all thats left is loneliness

To pass a lifetime by

With thoughts of ifs and maybes

And bitter tears to cry.

There are lots of things in this mad world

For which I have no need

Likewise a lot of people

To who I pay no heed.

But there is one in this mad world

Whos friendship means so much

That Id forgive him anything

And that is my friend Hutch.

So though our friendship took a knock

That sent it reeling back

The things you mean to me my friend

Will help it back on track.

Take my hand of friendship Hutch

Look deep into my face

And you will see that jealousy

Has vanished without trace.

Theres no need for forgiveness

Theres nothing to forgive

Lets put the past behind us both

And carry on Lets-Live!
