The Good Old Days

Sky:
As long as I’ve been round I’ve had this one friend that I know I can count on
A bit of a wise man- was always there to lend a hand when all had gone

Now Hank is from a family of healers who’ve passed all their wisdom down
So don’t you worry Laila, Hank he’ll fix you right, he’s the best here around

Like it was in the good old days- We helped each other hang on
In the good old days- That’s right now the good old days are gone,

Hank it’s good to see you- it’s been way too long life can get out of hand
Well I need to introduce you this is Laila- the fairest in the land

So I was wondering as Laila’s feeling down she tells me something’s wrong
I figured you could see her would you have a look and we’ll be moving on

Hank:
Yes Sky it’s been years so glad to see you man, I’d thought you’d cut and run
It’s good to meet you Laila I’m so pleased to see that Sky has found someone

Now let me clarify for you and Sky cuz what he’s saying’s slightly off
Though I may be no magician I can treat a cold, a headache or your cough

Like it was in the good old days…

I know it seems a pity but I’m going to the city anyday
I’m splitting with the family business no one needs a healer anyway- least not today

So I’m gonna be a doctor- found a mentor Riley J Jones is his name
you should meet me in the city- I’m sure he could cure Laila from her pain

But let me warn you now Sky that the doctor’s fees are more than you can pay
find a way to make some money quick, before your lady fades away

like it was in the good old days…

Hank gives Laila an amulet to wear around her neck:
Take this chain for luck to wear it was my dad’s he passed it down to me
Even though we just met Laila you are now one of the family
